Share my game files on two computers?

by Michael Briganti · in General Discussion · 05/25/2009 (9:49 am) · 7 replies

Hello,

I have two residences, and I have two computers. One computer is at each house, and I would like to know some options I have where when I update one file at my first house, I can then download the updated file very quickly at my other house when I get there.

I tried using Tortiose SVN but I was not able to open the files at my other home for some reason when I committed it to my repository. I was thinking of setting up an FTP server for the files, but that may be a bit of an inconvenience. Can anybody recommend something I can use to make this easier for me?

Thanks,
Mike

Any possibility of carrying around your project on a flash drive or external HDD? I'm currently using TSVN successfully, storing the repository in an external HDD and making two checked-out copies on each computer I use. It takes a little effort and some presence of mind to keep each version updated, but nothing serious.

Tortoise SVN works great for me across a variety of locations and computers. Probably just some simple setup or sharing access restriction you've overlooked. But yeah a flash drive, external HDD, remote access, or even an old CDRW/DVDRW would work too.

Thanks I think I may just purchase an external HDD then and I will try to fix my SVN.

That'd certainly be the cheaper option ;P. But SVN can be used for more than your own file sharing, so I'd also try to get it working. If you end up working in a team, etc.

And hey, online storage is still another option. I'm a little po'd at one of my external HDD's at the moment. Luckily I had the foresight to store some things on a website.

Getting SVN working for you will certainly be beneficial in the long-run.

Yeah, I am trying to fix my SVN now. I have no clue why it was not working before. I was just not able to open up some of the files even though they worked fine on one computer.
