I was actually referring to the fact that I had to find out for myself where I had to create the 'write-permissions' and 'read-permissions' files. The official tutorial only quotes the directory ^/.monotone ....and that's not what you have in Windows....hence came my doubts. datallah wrote: > >> 2.Being my pal under a very strict school server (all ports closed), I >> try >> to make his data pass through port 8080 (I'm guessing it should be the >> only >> one open, but I might be wrong), doing: >> $mtn serve -d mydatabase.mtn --bind=:8080 >> >> This way, if I'm right, I'm putting monotone listening to port 8080 on >> every >> host it has available. >> Monotone in fact asks for my password, then goes: >> mtn: beginning service on <all interfaces> :8080 >> >> And my Winxp firewall tells me if I want to allow mtn network access, so >> I >> guess I did something right. >> Can anyone confirm I did both the steps right? > > This sounds right to me. > >> If so, not knowing what kind of command my pal used, I guess he did >> something like this: >> mtn push -d hisdatabase.mtn myIPaddress >> >> Is this also right, or are we missing something anyay? > > I may be stating the obvious here, but is he doing something like the > following? > > mtn push -d hisdatabase.mtn myIPaddress:8080 > (**note the port) > Maybe...I'll have to ask him: anyway, I had what I was looking for.
