Connecting to the Perforce server
To connect to a Perforce server:
- Choose File>Open Connection... The Open Connection
dialog is displayed. If you have previously used the connection, select it from the Recent connections
pulldown menu. Otherwise,
- In the Connect to: fields, enter the Server and Port for this connection.
- In the Connect as: fields, enter your user name and password
(if a password is configured for the user).
- To browse for a particular user, click
the Browse button and select the user from that list.
- To create a new user, click the New button and fill in the appropriate information.
- (Optional) In the Open Workspace fields, specify the name of your client workspace.
- To browse for a particular client workspace, click
the Browse button and select it from that list.
- To create a new client workspace, click the New button and fill in the appropriate information.
- Click OK. P4V connects to the specified Perforce server and displays the
Files window.
Each time you connect to a server other than the currently-connected
one, P4V displays a new Connection window. For details about specifying
the Perforce server port, refer to the Perforce
User's Guide.
The following command-line startup flags are supported by p4v.exe:
