What is the Best Practice for Publishing to a Live Site?

Hi everyone,

I use Visual Studio .NET 2003. I need help in finding out what is the best practice in publishing a web site to a live server? I develop and test it on my local machine. My machine and the webserver are both W2K Servers. I would prefer NOT to upload the *.vb files. Thanks!

Regards,
Michael BernardoThe best and beginning step is to upload the whole contents of the local web application you have to the server. All files, folder, including the bin directory.

Do I use a separate FTP program to upload the site to the live server or can I use Visual Studio.NET?
Is there a facility in Visual Studio.NET to maintain a Development and a Live site?
Any suggestions for my situation which I'm sure is a very common setup?
Hello, i don't bother myself with any tool, I just open an FTP session, ask your hosting company about such an FTP account. Every time I do some updates on some files, I just upload the updated files + the dll.
