Uploading files with Visual Studio 2003

[Alex Shirley]

Hi

Currently I upload my ASP.Net web application by copying over files
from my local server to the web hosting provider using explorer and
ftp.

Is there a better way using the Visual Studio.Net 2003 environment?
Can you do a deploy somehow or do something along the lines that
dreamweaver allows you to do? Version control will be nice (so I can
only upload the latest files).

Obviously when I do the deploy, I only need copy the files across the
relevant files for the webserver (bin files, aspx files, not .vb
files).

Many thanks

Alex

This is the way that I do it. Here is a link to an article on my site.

Not really what you are asking but it works very well for me.

Thanks Brian

Only thing is would this solution work with FTP? I don't think you can
map a drive or use a UNC using this method.

Can you?

Thanks

I have done it to a share. Have not tried ftp.

Thanks....

I looking for a good FTP method. I'm surprised nothing is built in
like that for Visual Studio.Net 2003. Even good 'ole noddy FrontPage
had something workable years back.
