Hi,

I was wondering what people are using for version control software for remote access over the internet. We tried sourceSafe but found it buggy over the internet. Any recommendations? I found this comparison chart, but am not familiar with most of the programs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software

Thanks,

I would suggest either SVN (subversion) or CVS. 

Subversion is an "update" to CVS and is still being actively worked on... CVS has been around for over 20 years and is extremely stable.  SourceForge.net runs off of CVS, and some other large repositories out there do as well, then on the same token, most "new" projects out there in the open source that have their own thing seem to be running off of SVN. 

I personally use SVN for all of my personal stuff, all of my stuff at my "day" job, and managed to convert everything to SVN at my previous job.  I have been extremely pleased with it (unlike SourceSafe), and found it easy to work with.

SVN can be installed on Windows, Linux, or Unix... I am running mine on a Windows machine (for the repository host, client can be installed anywhere), though I imagine you could get better security "faster" by using Linux or Unix.  I just have 0 linux/unix experience and while I *want* to start learning it, just too busy to give it a whirl.

There are several other solutions out there that don't look half bad... just when you compare them to an open-source project that, just like DNN, has a large community... well, you can't really beat that.

Hi,

I recommend SourceAnywhere Hosted for you. It's a SQL-based source control tool delivered as a SaaS application. It comes with GUI client, command client, SDK, Eclipse plug-in, Visual Studio 6/2003/2005/2008 integration, Dreamweaver/Flash integration, cross-platform (Linux, MAC and Solaris, etc) client. All are in one product. Besides that, SourceAnywhere Hosted offers a unique feature, Web Deployment through FTP.

Here is the home page of SourceAnywhere Hosted:

If you want to run the server by yourself, you can try SourceAnywhere Standalone:

Thanks.

Hi,

I recommend SVN and the Ankhsvn plugin for visual studio.  Added to that, I recommend CodeSpaces.  Their bottom service level is FREE.

Thanks,
Mike
