I am new to Tortoise SVN. I have created a repository in my machine. To access this folder in a remote host, what's the repository url which should be given in SVN checkout? Should the server be running, when I try to access the repository ?

Is your machine in the same local network as the remote host? – Martin Hennings

Yes, the server must be running in order for you to access Subversion.

The URL depends on how you've configured Subversion.

My local Subversion instance URL looks like this: 

svn://localhost:3690

Another that I use to access Sourceforge looks like this: 

https://mandelbrotset.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mandelbrotset

It could be http instead of https, depending on how you've set things up.

In general, the URL takes this form: 

http://host:3690/repository

Have a look at the Red Bean book if you get stuck.
