svn checkout repository on local disk to remote server

I have an svn repository that I keep on a usb drive. How do I checkout the local repository from a remote server in ssh? Something like svn checkout file://local_repository but on the remote server this doesn't exist. I am thinking maybe I have to chain svn 开发者_开发问答command with scp?

If you are not the server administrator, you should ask him/her how to acces it. Anyway, it's quite common to have a server set up that allows you to connect to the svn server via ssh tunneling. You could give it a try.
