All tla requires is filesystem access. So if you have sftp, ftp, or
webdav access, you can have an archive there. cvs/subversion/most others
need a server process, but tla is client only, just using a remote
filesystem.

You don't really have to do anything. It's just how you register and
create the archive. Typing:
tla make-archive address@hidden
sftp://address@hidden/path/on/other/machine

Will create a new archive on "othermachine" in /path/on/other/machine
and register it as address@hidden
