Remote Source Code Control
-
Do any of you use anything to access MS SourceSafe remotely? (other than Source OffSite which costs a bit too much for me) I remember seeing an advertisement/article/post somewhere on CP several months ago about a product similar to Source OffSite (but much cheaper, or free) but can't seem to find it again. So, if you access your SourceSafe DB remotely, what do you use to accomplish this task? Free :beer: to those who reply! -- Edward Livingston (aka ExtraLean) -- "I still maintain that seeing a nipple is far less disturbing than seeing someone get their brains blown out." -- Chris Maunder

You can try using it over a VPN, but you'll soon realize it's name should be SourceUnSafe. I use CVS, which is (almost) client-server over a SSH-tunnel and it rocks. It's free, fast, secure and reliable. You can work disconnected and only connect for a few seconds for checkin(commit)/checkout/update. Say good-bye to read-only files. Not to mention the tons of features and free utilities for it on the web. I specially like and use the branching (it's not the same concept than VSS's branching). The trouble is that setting up a secure CVS server is hard if you are not a Unix guy (althought there is a version for Windows NT), and people will need to learn how to use it.
