How to use file protocol

PostPosted: Thu May 17, 2007 4:17 pm

I would like to use the file protocol, and make c:/test my repository.
But when I try to specify the url : file://C:/test it creates it at first, but when I try to import files it returns an error:
Browsing error: svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:C/test'
svn: Local URL 'file:C/test' contailns upsupported hostname.


What's wrong?!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.
You must specify the repository url in the next form
Code: Select all
file:///C:/test

I tested and for me it works fine if i specify the repository url in this form.


Best Regards,
Octavian

Also please make sure that there is a repository at the specified location. The Syncro SVN Client does not have support for creating a repository.

Thanks!

My problem was, that I assumed SVN Client would make a repository for me.
When I made one with the windows command prompt: svnadmin create /path/to/repos
- everything went OK.

Nice programme!
