Move files from a web server to another web server

[wau25]

I am migriting my site from asp.3.0 to asp.net and I am used to simply copy files from my dev server to production server when my files are ready to go public. With asp.net I can't do that. What do I need to do before and after I copy my files to the production server to make it work.

I do my development in a test environment and then just copy the files to the production server. If the set up is the same that is all that should be required. Make sure the asp_client folder resides where the validation code is looking..also make sure that if there are any variables that are machine specific in your web.config file you change those as well.

Make sure that if you manually created the web folder on the second computer that you created the application in the IIS. Also make sure that the .Net Framework is installed on that computer.

Hope this helps!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Thanks - Jennifer

If you are hobbying or have a small one person project you can just copy the appropriate files ( in visual studio there is an option to only copy the files you need) and then manually (if) adjust your stored procedures etc...
I also have a simple batch-file which does the job (just ask).

In all other cases there is ONE important Microsoft document which give you THE guidelines on how to go through this:

--> Team Development with Visual Studio .NET and Visual SourceSafe

Furthermore it's the other way around as you say. ASP.NET gives you for the first time xcopy deployment, this was not the case in the past.
