Product Information
SourceOffSite is a true client/server solution designed to provide quick and reliable access to a SourceSafe database from remote locations as well as non-Windows platforms. The SourceOffSite Client provides an interface that closely resembles Visual SourceSafe Explorer, allowing users to perform most SourceSafe operations via a familiar interface. SourceOffSite supports data encryption to ensure secure transfer of your data.
Features
Fast
SourceOffSite has always been the fastest way to get at your SourceSafe data, even over long distances – and SourceOffSite 5 is 10x faster (or more!) for many operations.
Secure
End-to-end encryption built-in, eliminating the hassle and overhead of a VPN.
Safe
SourceOffSite supports “Merge on Get', for safer, more-predictable merges than VSS “Merge on Commit'.
Integrated
SourceOffSite works with Visual Studio, just like SourceSafe.
Easy
The SourceOffSite client supports all major SourceSafe features, and is designed to be familiar and friendly to anyone accustomed to VSS.
Informative
The new SourceOffSite 5 interface puts the information you need right in front of you – like a pending changes window showing all of your updated data in one place.
Flexible
SourceOffSite 5’s tabbed views let you see multiple history queries, searches and file views at once.
Smart
SourceOffSite bundles SourceGear’s award-winning DiffMerge tool, for a powerful, visual difference and merge experience.
