Newbie:Trying to export project from local to server repository

Hi all,

I've been doing a lot of reading online the past couple days but can't seem to get this one figured out.  I've created a repository on my dev server which is running the latest release of SVN and I'm trying to get a project imported to this server from my local dev machine which is networked to the server.  I'm using TortoiseSVN front end locally.

The problem that I'm having is getting the project into a password protected server.  How do I provide the username and password to the export command used with TortoiseSVN?

Any help and/or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

OK, but the fact that you mention PROPFIND messages means you're  
serving the repository with Apache on that Windows 2003 server. Good  
to know.

OK, so then I guess Apache is configured to use that Microsoft Active  
Directory protection. That should be fine; Subversion should prompt  
you any time it needs a username and password (but note that it also  
caches that information, so you should only need to enter it once).

That's not what "export" means to Subversion. "export" means "take  
this directory which is in the repository, and export it to the local  
machine." I don't think that's what you want. I think you want  
"import", which means "take this local directory and put it into the  
repository."


Unless you're saying that you have two repositories -- one on the  
Windows 2003 development server, and one on your local Windows XP  
machine -- and you now want to move a project from your local  
repository to the development server repository?

In what way is the server "password protected"?
 - The server is protected using Microsoft Active Directory

 Are you serving with Apache? - I'm running a Windows 2003 server,
running XP locally

then "export" is not the command you will want to use; "import" is.
- I'm trying to set it up so I can send(export) the project from my
local machine to the server repository

What error messages do you get, if any, when you try to import into the
repository?
 - Error: PROPFIND request failed on '/AppRepositories/BrushLog'  
 - Error: PROPFIND of '/AppRepositories/BrushLog': authorization failed

If you need help with TortoiseSVN, you need to ask on the TortoiseSVN
mailing list. This mailing list here is just for general Subversion
questions.

If you're trying to import into your repository, 

In what way is the server "password protected"? Are you serving with
Apache? or svnserve? or svn+ssh? What OS is the server running?

What error messages do you get, if any, when you try to import into the
repository?
