How to add files over the web

I'm accessing our vault server over the web, (http://<server name>/VaultService/VaultWeb/login.aspx) and I can retrieve files from the repositories, but cannot figure out how to add files to a repository, nor really how to check out/in files.

Am I missing some documentation here or is this not possible?

The Vault Web Client is read-only, for views of the folder tree, diffs, history, Blame, etc. For checkin and checkout, use the Vault GUI Client, IDE Client, or Command Line Client.

Can any of those be used over the web without needing to be on the same vpn as the vault server? Thanks.

You don't necessarily need a VPN to connect to a Vault server. Vault runs in IIS, so you would connect on whatever port IIS is configured to use. The default IIS port is 80, and is usually open to the Internet.

If you can connect with a web client on port 80, you probably can connect with a Vault GUI Client as well.

Check with your System Admin about your Vault Server/IIS configuration.
