Question

Is it possible to use Bazaar on my windows shared hosting without SSH access? http://bazaar.canonical.com/en/

If it is possible, can you please explain how to set it up?

For example if you setup a domain bzr.example.com on the Windows server with its document directory in /websites/bzr.example.com, then you could push your bzr project with:

bzr push ftp://username:password@server/websites/bzr.example.com/project1 --create-prefix

And your friends can branch from it read-only via:

bzr branch http://bzr.example.com/project1

If your provider supports uploading with ftp or sftp, you can use that. How do you upload files normally?

Ok, so you can push your branch up with eg. `bzr push ftp://yourserver/path` . This is fine for if you just want to host the branch but note that the branch content will not be visible (you will just see a .bzr directory). I see that unfortunately for you the bzr-automirror and bzr-push-and-update plugins require ssh in order to update the branch content. – AmanicA Jul 03 '12 at 01:06

You can use http or ftp protocol for your concern.

http : simple http browsing is ok for read-only access.
ftp : to add write acess, ftp is ok.

See documentation here:
