To browse the depot with P4Web, just click on the browse link above, or point your browser to <code>http://public.perforce.com:8080/</code>. </p> <p> P4Web lets you navigate a depot hierarchy, observe activity, and browse file content. (The links on this page to Public Depot paths are handled by P4Web.) <a href="http://public.perforce.com:8080/@ra=s@/"><em>Start here</em></a> to try it out. </p> <p> P4Web sends documents to your web browser directly from a Perforce depot. For example, the index page for this site can also be viewed through P4Web at:</p> <pre> <a href="http://public.perforce.com:8080/public/index.html">http://public.perforce.com:8080/public/index.html</a></pre> <p> P4Web also has a Back-in-Time Browsing ® feature that enables you to "go back in time" to browse previous versions of documents stored in a Perforce depot. For example to see what the index page looked like at 1:00 pm back in October 2, 1998, say, you could point your browser to:</p> <pre> <a href="http://public.perforce.com:8080/public/index.html@1998/10/02:13:00">http://public.perforce.com:8080/public/index.html@1998/10/02:13:00</a></pre> <p> P4Web is currently available from the <a href="http://www.perforce.com/perforce/loadprog.html">Perforce Downloads</a> page. </p> </dd> <dt><a href="perforce/webkeeper/README.WEBKEEP">WebKeeper</a></dt> <dd> <p> The way people most often arrive at Public Depot web pages is using a Web browser, often after following an internet search. If you arrived at the <code>http://public.perforce.com/</code> website in the course of normal browsing (not putting a port number in the URL), then you are viewing Public Depot web pages served by WebKeeper. </p> <p> Webkeeper is an Apache module built with the Perforce C++ API. The web server at <code>public.perforce.com</code> is an <a href="http://www.apache.org">Apache Server</a> with the Perforce Webkeeper module and the Perforce C++ API linked in. When you point your browser to <code>public.perforce.com</code>, you're browsing files in a Perforce depot. For example, the file you're reading now is stored in the Public Depot as "//public/index.html". </p> <p> WebKeeper source files are available in the Perforce Public Depot in the <a href="perforce/webkeeper/index.html">//public/perforce/webkeeper</a> path. For more information about the Perforce C++ API, see the Perforce <a href="http://www.perforce.com/perforce/loadsupp.html">Related Software</a> page. </p> </dd> <dt><a href="ftp://public.perforce.com/">P4FTP</a></dt> <dd> <p> P4FTP, a supported Perforce product, allows access to a Perforce depot via the widely-implemented ftp protocol. As featured <a href="ftp://public.perforce.com"><em>here</em></a>, it is configured to provide read-only access for browsing and downloading content from the Perforce Public Depot. </p> <p> P4FTP can also be used by registered Public Depot users for read-write access; in this mode, it allows Perforce to be used conveniently from software with ftp client support, (like Dreamweaver, Netscape, and Internet Explorer) to browse, download, or upload Perforce depot files. </p> <p> More information about P4FTP, including download instructions, can be found <a href="http://www.perforce.com/perforce/products/p4ftp.html"><em>here</em></a>. </p> </dd> <dt><strong>More options...</strong></dt> <dd> <p> You can run any of the available Perforce client programs (P4, P4V, P4Web, etc.) on your own machine to access the Public Depot. To connect to the Public Depot, just set your Perforce port (P4PORT) to:</p> <pre> public.perforce.com:1666</pre> <p> Note that we periodically purge client specs created by unregistered users. You are free to create new clients but unless you're a registered user, don't count on having a persistent client spec in the depot. See below for instructions on becoming a registered user. </p> <p> Perforce client programs are available from the <a href="http://www.perforce.com/perforce/loadprog.html">Perforce Downloads</a> page. </p> <p> </p> </dd> </dl> <!-- Content ends here --> </div><!-- id content --> </div><!-- id main-body --> <!-- Copyright and bottom bar --> <div id="copyright"> Copyright © 1996, 2007 Perforce </div> </div> <!-- id outer --> </body> </html>
