Maybe I missed it, but i cant find anything that tells me how to use the SVN to update my copy of roster.

If there is already a post on this I Apologize, if you could link it to me.

Thanks

there was a file install.sh included with the roster follow the instructions for it andf it should do the trick

Do i have to telnet in to be able to run that - so far the onlu way i access those files is via ftp

That file is only if you have shell (telnet/ssh) access.

If you only have FTP access, the easiest way to keep synced with SVN is checking out SVN locally, and after each SVN update sync it with your online site using some FTP sync program - there are bound to be some programs around that only upload changed files.

For more detailed SVN instructions, check SVNergy

ok thanks - i checked my host and i would need the next level of webhosting to get SSH - cant justify the $$ to the wife, so ill try the SVNergy site, or wait for the new posted builds - thanks for the help

Try use RapidSVN if you don't like tortoise program because load at shell... RapidSVN does the same as tortoise but only loads when YOU use .. not every day.

Webpage:
http://www.rapidsvn.org

Use:
Chekout .. url .. GO! next time, use update button.

So any of these programs - i have to install them on my webserver?

Not necessarily
Install one of them on your computer
Get a ftp client that can upload only changed files

SVN checkout
SVN export (if you do not want to upload .svn directories)
FTP upload

SVN update
SVN export (if you do not want to upload .svn directories)
FTP upload
