The easiest way to set up an encrypted SVN repository?

Question

I'm using Subversion and TortoiseSVN under Windows, connecting to a Linux webserver running svnserve. I have basic shell access to the Linux webserver.

I have a non-encrypted link working, i.e. I can connect via TortoiseSVN to:

svn://www.mysite.com/svn/myproject/

However, I need to convert this to an encrypted link, e.g.:

svn+ssh://www.mysite.com/svn/myproject/

I can't get it working: any ideas?

Shane.

p.s. My client will accept nothing less than an encrypted link. Is it necessary? No. Do I need it? Unfortunately, yes.

Answer 1

use mod_svn & mod_ssl: as easy as configuring an https host.

Answer 2

Would be good to give information on what you tried to make it work...
