I need to download the files at https://biosignalgroup.repositoryhosting.com/svn/biosignalgroup_wclust/ onto my Windows system.

I installed svn for Windows, and tried the command: 

svn checkout https://biosignalgroup.repositoryhosting.com/svn/biosignalgroup_wclust/

It asked for authentication and the log lists a few files but I cannot find them on my pc. Please help.

I do not need to work with svn after this, I just need to download all the files onto my system in one go instead of right click and saving each of them.

  • Without credentials for that repository, you can't do anything (installing TortoiseSVN isn't going to help you). Talk to whomever told you that you need to get those files. – alroc Apr 08 '13 at 00:42
  • Found this question answered here based on the TortoiseSVN lead. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41766/how-do-i-download-code-using-svn-tortoise-from-google-code . I had access to the folder, I just didn't know how to download it. This worked, thanks! – ame Apr 08 '13 at 03:11
  • Have you tried `svn checkout [repo-url] [destination]` – Arpit Apr 08 '13 at 06:06

    If you need just to **download** and you don't need to track changes you can use `svn export` command instead of `svn checkout`. – bahrep Apr 08 '13 at 09:08

As @bahrep mentioned, if you don't need to work with svn in the future you want an svn export which will not create a working copy and it's associated files

Before you do the export, check to see if the URL is correct... in a standard svn repository there would be three folders under https://biosignalgroup.repositoryhosting.com/svn/biosignalgroup_wclust

To check that do an svn list https://biosignalgroup.repositoryhosting.com/svn/biosignalgroup_wclust If you see branches tags and trunk, you're going to need more info, ask whoever gave you the URL if you want the trunk, a certain branch or tag.

Once you sort which branch, tag or trunk you want,from a commandline:

svn export https://biosignalgroup.repositoryhosting.com/svn/biosignalgroup_wclust biosignalgroup_wclust

Will export the files to a directory named biosignalgroup_wclust in whatever directory you where in.
