How to check out shered directory?

[ka...@o2.pl]

Hi,

I made a fsfs repository on a shered directory on path

\\server\public\repository

How do I checkout it?

I tryed the obvious:

svn co file://server/public/repository

but it didn't work. It says that hostname is wrong.

I need to do it like this, without changing anything on the server machine.

Please help.
Kamil

Have you tried the obvious suggestion of RTFM? :-P

Seriously, using the file:// URL scheme is normally for local disks 
only. For Windows shared drives, you can also use file:// if the remote 
shared folder is mapped to a local drive letter.

First map a drive letter (X, for example) to the shared directory 
(//server/public), then use something like "file:///X:/repository".
