How to checkout an svn repository to your local machine

Question

I am using putty with my university Id and password to give svn commands.
I have to upload a file from my local machine into repository. I tried svn import and file name while in the directory where I have to upload the file. Svn import c:/users/gh/file.txt But I get an error that its invalid url.

I tried if I can checkout file to the local machine, edit it and then add the changes I used svn co https: But it checkout into the terminal but not into the local machine. I am very new to svn. Can someone tell what am I doing wrong

1. "putty with my university Id" means (at least) SSH-access to remote host and nohow define existence and accessibility of http-based SVN-server. You may have svn+ssh:// access, if it's configured at server side (ask admin for possibility and credentials)
2. You must to read description of svn import command at least and get all needed parameters in order to use command properly in remote shell. For svn import [PATH] URL you miss URL (of real repository) definition. Ask admin about it
