How can I access VSS from a remote site over the Internet directly of via a web portal?
• Set up a VPN/RAS connection between the two locations (for additional information about using VSS over a RAS or ISDN check out KBA Q158219 ) or • Purchase a third party product like SourceOffSite (http://www.sourceoffsite.com). • Try DMB Consulting’s free (for non-commercial use) VSS.NET which is available at http://www.dmbcllc.com/products.htm. • Try VssConnect 1.0, similar to SourceOffSite, it allows optimized access to a SourceSafe database using a client/architecture. Details can be found at http://www.voxcode.com. • Try SourceWeb(http://sourceweb.sekonden.se) from Sekonden. 11. How do I convert my PVCS archive to VSS? Use the supplied conversion utility pvcs_ss.exe. Note that this will not work with long file names, and it does not work with logfiles created by the NT version of PVCS. See KBA Q140362 12. How do I get all users out of VSS in order to perform a backup? The easy way is to have everyone access SS via a share. Then you can pause the share, eliminating any new access,
