Tortoise SVN : Accessing Repository in my desktop from another computer

Question

I have a TortoiseSVN repository created at ip=ab.cde.fgh.123. I am trying to browse that repository from ip=ab.cde.fgh.124.

I have given "svn://ab.cde.fgh.123/repo" in the address bar for repository from the other machine. But I am unable to browse the repo.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It is likely that you haven't installed and configured the svnserve service that will let you access the files from a remote machine. This article explains how to do it.

The other option is to use the file:// url to the files which would look something like

file:///usr/home/acox/repos/projects

which wou ld allow you to access the files from a remote machine.

Answer 2

I don't use Tortoise, but I routinely access an SVN repository on another computer at home over my network by simply referring to the repository as file://computername/sharename/path, in my case, "file://qwerty/SharedDocs/svn/svnrepos", I believe it is. If that doesn't work for you, post back and I'll verify the details when I get home.
