CUCC Expedition Handbook

There are essentially two ways of using expo server: one is just FTP, second using version controll. If you can handle version controll use that!. Currently we're using HG wich is like GIT but a litte retarded.

Using expo server via version controll software connection

Configure on Windows

• Get TortoiseHG application to handle mercurial repo:
  
• Install and open the app. The click 'clone':
  
• Configure as:
  source:ssh://expo@expo.survex.com/expoweb (you can replace 'expoweb' with one of four repos we have on the server c.f. repositories)
  destination: pick location on the local machine
  
• Press 'clone'
• 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)

Configure on Linux

• Instal mercurial:
  

  sudo apt-get install mercurial

• Clone database:
  

  hg clone ssh://expo@expo.survex.com/expoweb ~/localdirofyourchoice

• 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)
