# Subversion Checkout Wizard: Subversion Repository

The Subversion Repository panel of the Subversion Checkout wizard enables you to specify the root path to your Subversion repository when checking out files from the repository. If no root locations are listed in the drop-down list, you can enter the information directly into the text field.

When checking out files from a repository, you need to specify the location of the repository as defined by the Subversion root. To specify the Subversion root, do the following:

Element | Description
--- | ---
Repository URL | Select a Subversion root protocol and location from the drop-down list. The drop-down list contains a list of supported protocols, as well as previous Subversion root locations used in the IDE.
User | Enter your user name for access to the repository. (Required for http, https, and svn protocols.)
Password | Enter your password for access to the repository. (Required for http, https, and svn protocols.)
Tunnel Command | If you are accessing a repository through the svn+ssh protocol, you must supply the tunnel command to establish the external tunnel.

For protocols such as http://, https://, and svn://, enter your required username and password for repository access in the User and Password fields.

Select the Save Username and Password option to allow the IDE to remember your username and password for future use.

If you need to enter proxy settings for connecting to the repository, click the Proxy configuration button to specify connection details of your proxy configuration.

The IDE supports the following Subversion protocol types:

Protocol | Access Method | Example
--- | --- | ---
file | Direct repository access (on local disk) | `file:///repository_path[@REV]`
http | Access via WebDAV protocol to a Subversion-aware server | `http://hostname/repository_path[@REV]`
https | Access via HTTP protocol with SSL encryption | `https://hostname/repository_path[@REV]`
svn | Access via custom protocol to an svnserve server | `svn://hostname/repository_path[@REV]`
svn+ssh | Access via SVN protocol through an external SSH tunnel | `svn+ssh://hostname/repository_path[@REV]`
