How to checkout a SVN repo in the same server?

I am currently working on a website and I am hosting it on a server, the server has an SVN repository of the project. What I am currently doing is work on a local repository copy and upload it via ftp to the development sub-domain. So I wanted to ask if there was a way to checkout the SVN repo directly on the same server.

In case I wasn't clear enough this is the output of ls command run on the server: www dev svn

where svn/devrep is my subversion main repository, and I want to svn checkout that repository to dev directory.

I am giving the answers for both the scenarios, IN THE REPOSITORY as well as FROM THE REPOSITORY

In the Repository:(Likely) You have the files in SVN Repository. The files are in Production(DEVREP) and you want to change some files. You want to keep your new changes separate. Hence, trying to copy the files in the repository. In SVN, this is called creating a new Branch. If you are using any UI Client like TortoiseSVN, you can create a new Branch and the files will be available in DEV as well. If you make any changes in DEV, this will not affect DEVREP.

From the Repository: (Unlikely, just in case if this is what you need) This could be done as you checkout normally from the Repository to your local machine.
