SourceOffSite Client is a Windows tool that connects your computer with remote SourceSafe code repositories. It is possible to navigate server folders, view file revisions and download content for local editing. Additionally, flexible tools for collaborating with other users are provided.

Main purpose

The program bridges the gap between developers and their source code hosted on a central SourceSafe server. Essential operations such as browsing files and reviewing recent changes can be performed remotely through the client. Branching and merging options for creating independent workflows are included as well.

Project managers are able to resolve conflicts arising from concurrent edits, ensuring the overall code integrity. All traffic between the client and server is automatically encrypted to protect sensitive information and account credentials.

Advanced capabilities

You can integrate SourceOffSite Client with popular development environments like Visual Studio, enabling source control operations directly within the IDE. Moreover, it is possible to optimize data transfer and reduce network load using compression and local caching mechanisms.
