Some time on remote location we also do some changes in code using iphone and ipad using FTP On The Go PRO

And some time some place Internet is not available so we also work without internet.

I want to know the preferred Version control system for us which should be accessible from all devices and OSes. And should work offline too. And how to setup for a project.

My personal preference is Mercurial.

We've used this on projects with a range of team members spanning 4 or more countries.

Mercurial is a distributed source control system which means that every developer will have their own repository on their machine and will push to a central location as and when possible (in your case, when an internet connection is available).

Given that this is the case it also makes it possible for developers to push/pull to/from one anothers machines over the network. Your collegue can make changes and you can pull them directly from his machine on the network.

Rob Connery also wrote an article about using Mercurial and the command line. It's a pretty good reference for the simple commands and explains the benefits of using the command line over a visual tool:
