From the console Slik Subversion. From Windows explorer Tortoise SVN.

@Gandalf If you right-click on a folder, one of the entries in the popup menu that appears should be TortoiseSVN.

@Gandalf Not a lot I can do about it, I'm afraid - I suggest taking a look at the FAQ at http://tortoisesvn.net/faq, and if that fails post another question about it here. You'll need to give version information for your OS and for Tortoise.

Tortoise really is the best answer possible here, I personally think it's the best svn client, hands down. I'm not sure why it's not working for you, but it should be on that right-click menu. Try rebooting after install?

I'd prefer to download console client from collab.net. They update the binary packages more often than Silk does.

@Mr.Cat Slik has always worked well for me, which is why I recommended it.

Which OS? You have several options. My favourites:
Windows: TortoiseSVN
Mac OSX: Versions
Linux: KDEsvn
Or any others off this list.
For the command-line, you can use the "svn" binary directly from the SVN package for your system. Or something like Slik SVN on Windows.

Which OS? I would say the word "Windows" in the title is a bit of a give away.

As a developer I've learned never to assume the first thing that comes to mind. For example, I have "windows" on my Mac - they're windows containing the contents of folders, but it's not the Windows OS. Eclipse is a multi-platform IDE, therefore the OP might be wanting to commit changes from a folder window instead of the IDE. Plus "console" is not a commonly-used term for the Windows command-line. And to be particularly pedantic, "windows" != "Windows" (note the case difference.)

and the reason for the downvote please? Does this somehow not answer the question?
