Source Safe Web Interface v2.0 Released

SSWI is a web based addon to Visual Source Safe that allows you to use all of the common source safe features from your favourite web browser.

SSWI also integrates with Visual Studio to enable remote access to your corporate VSS database from anywhere in the world as if you were still in the office.

It provides remote access to all the features of Visual Source Safe without the need to install software on the end user PC. SSWI is a fully web based system, that will work on any PC or MAC (OSX) with IE6+, Firefox or Safari and the Java runtime

SSWI allows the user to do check-out, recursive check-out's, check-in's and all the other Visual Source Safe functions remotely, from any location in the world, making it the ideal companion for remote workers, professional software developers or large development teams.

The product can also be used by any member of staff that requires access to a document in your Visual Source Safe repository. Marketeers, Managers etc. can modify documents on the move and still track changes, view the document history, and allow others to access the file.

It provides full local and remote filesystem support, using state of the art Java technology. No need for heavy activeX controls or specific client side configuration.

Simply point your browser at the location of your SSWI server and you will have immediate access to all Visual Source Safe's features.

SSWI also supports the MSSCCI interface for integrating with popular IDE's, including Visual Basic 6, Visual Studio 2002 and Visual Studio 2003 (.NET 1.0 and 1.1), the SSWI download contains an installer for the IDE integration that you can distribute to your developers.
