accessing a subversion repository on futurequest

[brycestro]

Hi all,

I'm attempting to set up a subversion repository in a directory on my futurequest hosted account. Here's what I've done so far:

1. Logged in via SSH and used "mkdir test_repo" to make a folder called "test_repo" under the /big/dom/x<domain_name>/<username>/ directory. Making this folder was successful.

2. Created the subversion repository under the test_repo directory by issuing the command "svnadmin create test_repo". I'm assuming this was also successful, being as it didn't complain and jumped to the next line waiting for my next command.

My question now is, how do I use my computer as the client to pull down all the files in the test_repo? I have a machine running Windows Vista and have used subversion and TortoiseSVN before locally on my own machine, but I don't know what I need to type to connect to the repository I've created on the futurequest server. What is the URL of the repository that I've created that I would need to type in to get access to the repository files?

Any help is much appreciated. Cheers, Bryce.

In short, you cannot. In order to provide access to the repository, you would need to set up a long running process (svnserve), which is forbidden by our Terms of Service.

We do have the Subversion client software installed on our servers, so you can access external repositories from your FutureQuest account. However, it is not possible to set up repositories that can be accessed from outside your account.

You could try http://www.beanstalkapp.com/ for a free subversion host - paid for more bells and whistles. They will also FTP deploy.
