Copying Remote Files
| Chapter 3. Using eSvn |

## Copying Remote Files

To duplicate an item in the remote repository, remembering history, use the Copy (remote) option ( Modify->Copy (remote) (Ctrl+Q) ). Items can be copied from a source in the remote repository to a destination in the remote repository or they can be copied from the working copy to the remote repository. When copying between paths in the repository a complete server-side copy is performed. This is useful when branching and tagging. When a working copy item is copied to a remote repository the duplicated item is immediately committed. The `Copy` dialog provides the following fields:

Source

  The item path to be duplicated. The path may be a local path or remote URL. Use the U button to display the `URL wizard`.

Destination

  The path to where the source will be copied. The path may only specify a local path. Use the U button to display the `URL wizard`.

Revision

  Select the radio button and enter a value equal to a revision number. `KEYWORDS` are supported:

  HEAD

    The latest revision in the repository.

  BASE

    The "pristine" revision of an item in a working copy.

  COMMITTED

    The last revision in which an item changed before (or at) BASE.

  PREV

    The revision just before the last revision in which an item changed. (Technically, COMMITTED - 1.)

Date

  Select the radio button and enter a value equal to a revision date or time. Specify date or time using any of the following syntax:

  - 2004-02-17

  - 15:30

  - 15:30:00.200000
