Download a file from an SVN repository

Question

I need to download the files at https://biosignalgroup.repositoryhosting.com/svn/biosignalgroup_wclust/ onto my Windows system.

I installed svn for Windows, and tried the command:

svn checkout https://biosignalgroup.repositoryhosting.com/svn/biosignalgroup_wclust/ 

It asked for authentication and the log lists a few files but I cannot find them on my pc. Please help.

I do not need to work with svn after this, I just need to download all the files onto my system in one go instead of right click and saving each of them.

As @bahrep mentioned, if you don't need to work with svn in the future you want an svn export which will not create a working copy and it's associated files

Before you do the export, check to see if the URL is correct... in a standard svn repository there would be three folders under https://biosignalgroup.repositoryhosting.com/svn/biosignalgroup_wclust

To check that do an svn list https://biosignalgroup.repositoryhosting.com/svn/biosignalgroup_wclust If you see branches tags and trunk, you're going to need more info, ask whoever gave you the URL if you want the trunk, a certain branch or tag.

Once you sort which branch, tag or trunk you want,from a commandline:

svn export https://biosignalgroup.repositoryhosting.com/svn/biosignalgroup_wclust biosignalgroup_wclust

Will export the files to a directory named biosignalgroup_wclust in whatever directory you where in.
