How to add new files for an empty directory structure

[Sudarshan]

hi

we have started a new project, hence first we created a directory
structure containing only directories and no files were inside.
Now we wish to add files to those directories, depending on which files
should go to which directory,
Now am i supposed to checkout the entire directory tree and add files to
each direcory as per our requirement.
Is that the way correct. Please correct me if iam wrong.
Can i restrict the usage of directories to only certain users. If
possible how should i proceed.
we are using cvs server on linux machine and wincvs on clients

Thanks all for the help
