title: Noob questions for SVN checkout and network issues regading it
body: <p>We have a local server with SVN installed on it that we are using for development/testing purpouses. We would like to checkout the data from it to the live server that is somewhere out there.</p>
  
  <p>The only way to do that which I thought of was to use "svn checkout" from the live server, right? This way we do not need to FTP the changes to it, that may cause problems is we forget to upload some of the changes. And if we found a problem we can alway go back to previous stable version, right? Correct me if I am wrong about any of these. </p>
  
  <p>The problem is that our local server (Ubuntu) does not have a IP that is reachable from outside. We have a router from out ISP, but we can not use that to access the local server from the live. We are willing to ask the ISP provider to setup a second IP for the local server, but for security sake they want to setup a separate machine with Windows and windows base security software (firewall - <a href="http://www.kerio.com/control/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kerio.com/control/</a> and antivirus) that will cost us a lot. Can we just setup a free firewall on the local server (Ubuntu as I said) and solve the problem without spending additional money?</p>
  
  <p>I hope I was clear.</p>
