Checkout to (not from) server
Hi,
I searched the forum and Google for answers to my question, but
couldn't find anything similar to my problem.
due to security reasons I have to do checkouts/updates from my local
repository to a distant (web) server, and not as usual, vice versa.
Is this possible? I can't see how the command would look like.

I try this here:
svn checkout file:///Users/schwarzer/Documents/subversion_cvs/
geodataportal/trunk svn+ssh://testserver:/www/geodataportal
________________________________________________________________________

which results in:
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///Users/schwarzer/Documents/
subversion_cvs/geodataportal/trunk'
________________________________________________________________________

svn --version gives me the following:

So then your local machine is the Subversion "server" and the remote
web server is the Subversion "client." So, as in any client/server
relationship, the client needs to be able to initiate a connection to
the server. So you need to install and run either svnserve or apache2
or ssh on your local machine. Then you would ssh to the remote web
server. Then, on its shell, you would issue the "svn checkout"
command to check out part of the repository from your local machine.
local$ ssh remote
remote$ svn co https://local/svn/project/trunk
remote$ exit
local$
So the local machine's IP address, or at least the svnserve or
apache2 or ssh port, needs to be accessible from the remote machine.
If you're behind a firewall or router, that means you'll need to
configure some things. If you have a cable modem or DSL line or for
some other reason a dynamic IP, then that's something you'll have to
contend with as well, possibly making your life easier with a dynamic
DNS hostname of some sort.

svn+ssh is used as a method to access the repository.
But AFAIK the target of the checkout command is a path that has
nothing to do with Subversion itself. It's just a path.
So for me it's not surprising that it doesn't work like this.
I think you have to make the target path available for your local
system. I can't image that Subversion can be used like e. g. scp
or something like that. But I'm no expert in this area so maybe
someone else knows better and has a solution for this.

Sorry, indeed, I had copied the wrong path...
But although the path is now correct, it does checkout now into my
home folder, instead of using svn+ssh...

May be you have used the wrong path? You have to give the complete
absolute path to file://. Maybe something like
file:///home/Users/schwarzer. Or is it 'users' with a small 'u'?
To just check the url and not test the checkout target
you can try 'svn info <url>'.
Hope this helps.
