Command Line Client

In addition to the primary GUI Client for SourceOffSite, we also provide a Command Line Client that is more suitable for use in automated scripts. The Command Line Client is available from the download page on our web site. The manual is included and is also available online: soscmd.txt

Reasonably portable by design, the Command Line Client can be used on platforms other than Windows in order to provide SourceSafe access. At the present time, we provide the Command Line Client for Linux, Solaris and Windows.

The Command Line Client supports a subset of operations that are available in the SourceOffSite GUI Client including:
