<p>There are essentially two ways of using expo server: one is just FTP, second using version controll.
<strong>If you can handle version controll use that!</strong>. Currently we're using HG wich is like GIT but a litte retarded.
<h1>Using expo server via version controll software connection</h1>
<h2>Configure on Windows</h2>
<ul>
<li>Get <a href="https://tortoisehg.bitbucket.io/">TortoiseHG</a> application to handle mercurial repo:<br>

<li>Install and open the app. The click 'clone':<br>

<li>Configure as:<br>
<b>source:</b><i>ssh://expo@expo.survex.com/<b>expoweb</b></i>
(you can replace 'expoweb' with one of four repos we have on the server c.f. <a href="http://expo.survex.com/repositories">repositories</a>)<br>
<b>destination:</b> pick location on the local machine<br>
<img src="./tutorialimgs/hg_win_setup.png" width="300">
</li>
<li>Press 'clone'</li>
<li>You should now have a copy of the repo on your machine. Use commands 'commit','pull','push' as in any version controll system. (This page is not meant as version controll tutorial, pls just websearch something)</li>
</ul>

<h2>Configure on Linux</h2>
<ul>
<li>Instal mercurial:<br>
<pre>sudo apt-get install mercurial</pre></li>
<li>Clone database:<br>
<pre>hg clone ssh://expo@expo.survex.com/expoweb ~/localdirofyourchoice</pre></li>

<p>If you are at basecamp, then it is an excellent idea to type up your logbook trip report.
You can then print this and stick it in the logbook, adding any sketches by hand.
This will save someone (probably you) deciphering your handwriting and typing it up later.

Rather than editing logbook.html when you type up your trip, it is a much better
