Hi,

I wanted to ask.. I setup VSS 6.0 on a remote server.

I am trying to connect to the server where my website files are located.

I looked in the options in the VSS Administrator, etc, and it does not seem
to allow a way to connect to the server over the web or some other port.

I downloaded sourceoffsite some tool that is supposed to allow you to
connect, but it does not seem to work.

Can anyone shed some light or does someone know if VSS runs on certain
ports, or how one would connect to it remotely and use it for version control.

I am not using Visual Studio, or anything, just trying to use vss for
version control.

-Thanks
