I have a couple files checked out in Perforce on a different computer that I won't have access to until tomorrow. I received a request to revert them but I'm not sure how to do that from my home computer. I don't see an option and I can't find any results about this for the visual client. Is it even possible?

Unless you have the files locked, why would anyone care? And note that reverting files from another machine will probably leave your client in a weird state (the file presumably would still have whatever changes you made but would no longer be open for edit). – jamesdlin Dec 01 '15 at 20:27

@jamesdlin - Good question! I have no idea why anyone would care to be honest. But this is for a class I'm in and it was the teacher who requested it, so I didn't question it. Maybe he just wants to ensure no one will accidentally merge/update over the changes he was going to make? – user2022185 Dec 02 '15 at 04:06

p4 revert takes as an option the client name, i.e workspace name.
From P4V>File> Open Command window here and try :
p4 revert -C *yourotherworkspace* -c changelist //...
If this is not enough you might have to add some global options settings like :
p4 -H remote_computer_name revert -C *yourotherworkspace* -c changelist //...

Nothing happens when I click "Open Command Window Here". I'm not sure why. – user2022185 Dec 01 '15 at 13:04

I ended up finding a suitable solution for myself.
I opened P4V and navigated to my workspaces. I edited the one with the checked out files and changed the workspace root and host to be from my current computer. After applying that, I was able to revert them as I normally would from the P4V client.
