I agree to the security part of that statement. But then when I am not going to write software (my project is going to be documents/articles), a web interface is quite convenient and it is a lot easier. I don't have internet connectivity at home. And the Internet Cafes would not have the kind of software that this requires (ssh, cvs). [I am in Bangalore, India]. And so my only bet would be my company resource. And I don't think my company sysadmin would be very much willing to give me special access (or privileges). Perhaps I would try a couple of times in the future. But savannah, didn't solve my problem, this time around. Thanks for the quick response.
