Configure Team Foundation Version Control to use Proxy Server

  • Artikel

You can configure Team Foundation version control to use a proxy server, which caches copies of version control files in the location of a distributed team. You can significantly reduce bandwidth requirements for remote developers by using a proxy server.

Note

All metadata exchange and file uploads continue to interface directly with Team Foundation Server.

The following procedure demonstrates how to configure a Visual Studio client to take advantage of Team Foundation Server Proxy.

Required Permissions

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators or Users security group on the computer where Visual Studio is installed. For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.
