How do I deploy a Visual Studio .NET web project from my local computer to your server?

IMPORTANT NOTE: The following method applies to Visual Studio .NET 2002 and 2003. If you use Visual Studio .NET 2005, please see this Knowledge Base article.

To deploy a Visual Studio .NET project from you local computer to your DiscountASP.NET hosting account, follow the steps listed below.
  1. Enable FrontPage extensions on your account using the FrontPage tool in the Control Panel IIS Tools.
  2. Open the web project to be deployed in Visual Studio .NET.
  3. Go to Project -> Copy Project
  4. Enter the URL to your site, http://www.YourHostedDomainName.com, or the location you want Visual Studio .NET to copy your project to in the Destination Project Folder.
  5. Select FrontPage as Web Access Method.
  6. Select "Only files needed to run this application"*.
  7. Click "Ok".
*These steps will not allow you to open the project directly from the server. To do that, you will have to select "Copy: All Project Files" in step 6.
