# Subversion: Relocate Dialog Box

The Subversion Relocate dialog box enables you to modify the path to the Subversion repository which you are registered with.

You can use this dialog box to:

- mirror a different location in the current repository
- mirror a different repository

You access this dialog box by selecting a versioned project or folder (e.g. from the Projects, Files, or Favorites window) and choosing Team > Relocate from the main menu.

The Relocate dialog box displays the following fields for reference purposes:

- Working Copy. The path to the local copy which you are currently working in.
- Current URL. The path to the Subversion repository you are currently registered with.

You can modify the path to the Subversion repository by entering a new protocol type and location in the New URL text field. You can select a type and location from the drop-down list (if previous entries have been made).

When you click Relocate, the new repository URL is registered in the IDE, and will be applied the next time you attempt to connect to the repository.

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]`
