TortoiseSVN as well as other Subversion clients cannot access repositories using FTP protocol. Repositories can be accessed using file, svn, http and https protocols. What protocol do you use to access repository? The procedure to migrate repository Linux server looks like this: 1. Create repository dump on Linux OS using "svnadmin dump /path/to/repo >repos.dump" command 2. Copy "repos.dump" file to the server running VisualSVN Server 3. Create *empty* repository in VisualSVN Server Manager. 4. Load dump using "svnadmin load C:\Repositories\repos <repos.dump" You can use start command line prompt option in VisualSVN Server Manager to There is also another method for migrating repository using svnsync, but it's more complex. -- Ivan Zhakov VisualSVN Team
