  1. Hi All,

    I have a team of three developers in different locations and we need some form of hosted source control. Can anyone recommend <STRIKE>inexpensivefree version control software that handlesremote programmers? I'm aware of CVSNT, can I host this myselfthrough discountASP?

    Thanks!

    we use Visual Source Safe ourselve and I think you can configure it to work through WAN.
     
  3. Bruce, can you please elaborate on this vss hosting, did you mean discountasp can create a vss database on request, which we can access.

    No.. You cannot create VSS database on our service. We do not support VSS.
     
  5. Even though this thread is already a bit older, I can only warn of VSS. If you forget about the completely unintuitive use for a second, VSS databases are prone to get corrupted and all other sorts of things.

    Beside that I usedCVS and SVN before, out of which SVN is the clear winner. You can very easily set up SVN to access a repository over http(s), even though it's probably not possible to do this with DASP. Ididit myself on a Win2003 box at home connected over cable and using dyndns for dynamic domain name (also free). If you're concerned about security, you could put a VPN endpoint capable router in front of your LAN that allows your people to establish a secure tunnel through which the access VPN. Don't forget to check out TortoiseSVN,SVN's wonderfulintegration into Windows Exlorer.

    Christoph,

    Are you referring to the older version of VSS? We had the same problem with the previous version of VSS.

    We are now using VSS 2005, it has been pretty solid so far (about 4 months of usage)
