Working with code held in Subversion from a remote computer

Question

We have a Subversion server running at the company I work for holding various repositories. The subversion server is not available outside of the companies internal network.

Is it possible for me to work with code that has been checked out of a Subversion repository on this server from home? The home PC has no direct access to the Subversion server so I would need to check the code out at work, transfer it to my home PC via other means, and then do the opposite the next day when I want to check the code back in.

Is it as simple as taking a copy of the entire Working Folder and transferring that to my home PC and back or am I just getting my hopes up?

I am working with Windows PCs using TortoiseSVN as the Subversion client on both my home PC and works PC.

Answer 1

Yes its possible. You can copy the entire working folder to another computer and modify files, then copy it back and commit. As long as you do not interfere with any of the .svn files in the folder.
