Remote SubversionSVN connection to Unix Server

Having installed TurtoiseSVN locally (local repository, no server) for my Delphi projects, i now want to share my updates via internet. To make it possible i did install Subversion (version 1.6) on an Apache Unix server (RedHat, VDS Hosting plan with Sphera) and created a repository folder at that place. The server is running well but i'm a bit lost at that point:

What are my best options to import the projects to the Unix repository, the easiest will be to clone the local repository to the one on the Unix machine? - ideally i would like them both synchro. What is the best tool to manage the Unix Subversion server and its repository (right now i'm using SSH Explorer) and best tool to checkout/import/export files on the repository of that server?

Tx

I have found a solution to my problem.

General remote connection script from a Windows SubversionSVN to a unix Subversion server:

svn+ssh://<username>@<hostname>:<port>/<location of the SVN repository>

Better, lets have username and password parameters added to TortoisePlink.exe, Open Explorer file window, right-click in the file section (get a pop-up), choose: TortoiseSVN -> Settings -> "Network" Pane-> SSH Client.

exemple: 'TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoisePlink.exe -l username -pw password'

now the connection will be:

svn+ssh://@<hostname>:<port>/<location of the SVN repository> ... no need to add username and no password asked for.

To copy the local repository to the server, you can use svnadmin dump to backup the local repo including all revisions to a portable backup file. On the target server, use svnadmin load to install the backup.

See 'Repository Maintenance - Migrating Repository Data Elsewhere' in the documentation.

If you have the server running, there is no need for the local repository anymore. If you really want to keep and synchronize a local repository with the server, you can use the svnadmin hotcopy command.
