Instructions for running Subversion (svn) over SSH on a non-standard port

Server Side Config
Just start “svnserve”  using the following command. Change the values to reflect your environment
#svnserve –listen-port 225 -d -r /srv/svn

Client Side Config
This is pretty easy too,  just edit: ~/.subversion/config and add the following line below the header [Tunnels]
myRemoteSVNServer = /usr/bin/ssh -p 222 -l jsmith

• 222 is the SSH port on the server, not the one you setup for svn to run on (225)
• jsmith is a user authorized to use ssh
• /usr/bin/ssh is the full path to “ssh”

Accessing SVN
The command is the same except for the additional “svn+[YOURTUNNELNAME]”

IE:    svn co svn+myRemoteSVNServer://192.168.0.40/srv/svn/
