clients running on the same machine on which the repository
resides using the <code class="literal">file://</code> method. But the
typical Subversion setup involves a single server machine being
accessed from clients on computers all over the office—or,
perhaps, all over the world.</p><p>This chapter describes how to get your Subversion repository
exposed outside its host machine for use by remote clients. We
will cover Subversion's currently available server mechanisms,
discussing the configuration and use of each. After reading
this section, you should be able to decide which networking
setup is right for your needs, and understand how to enable such
a setup on your host computer.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="svn.reposadmin.summary.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="svn.serverconfig.overview.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Summary </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Overview</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
