After the migration to win2008 i have noted that in the user manager tab , in the control panel, existing user account are no longer listed in the permission manager. What does that mean ? Do I have to reset up these permission or recreate these username? And also I have taken note that in the migration , discountasp.net mentioned that under win2008 frontpage extension were not supported. If it is whatI think, then is there a way to setup visual studio 2008 to work remotely ? Or wait for such a support in the future... I have tried to attach iis manager to myweb siteand I keep getting the 401 error message after all. Is there anything special (syntax , server name ) tohave when setting iis manager.

By default your account user name and ASPNet User has full read and write permission to your entire root directory and all its contents inside. Because of the new architecture with Windows 2008, the Permission manager mainly is used for additional ftp users when you create them. You should also be able to set the permission settings within the IIS Manager for IIS 7. Yes you are correct. FrontPage Server Extensions are not installed on Windows 2008. You should be able to configure VS 2008 to connect to our Windows 2008 via FTP. You can use this kb articles as a guideline in setting up VS 2008 to connect to our Windows 2008 server. http://kb.discountasp.net/default.aspx?cNode=4P1B8P&pNodes=4K2Y8L The main thing you will need to remember when using this kb article is that the ftp login for Windows 2008 will not be the same as your account login. So log into your control panel and under Account Info/Edit review your FTP login. Refer to this kb article on how to setup IIS Manager to connect to our IIS 7 server. http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10575 If you have not already done so, log into your hosting control panel and click on IIS Tools. Under MS IIS Manager put a check mark on the user under 'Select Users to grant Microsoft IIS Manager access:'. rcp DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
For the ftp connection I had understood that and I appreciate the possibility to use SSL now. But about iis7 manager I have followed the instructions setup and unless I have something to do on my side like opening a port on a router or use a special syntax to identify to server, etc I am still unable to connect to my site.

With the Copy Website feature in VS2008? I use it through a local router to 2008 servers here with no problem. If you need help with the actual settings let me know. Salute, Mark
I don't have any problem to work in vs2008 by ftp with my site , my only problem is still to setup iis manager. I don't know if it can help but after I have migrated to win2008 the original user account was not listed as able to set any permissions in permission manager like if it could not be moved. I use the connect to server task, I enter my domain name without the www. , a name for the site , etc. and I get the 401 error. Rick
Don't use the Connect to Server option, use the Connect to Site. Make sure you input your domain name with out the 'www' for server name and site name. Log into your control panel and under IIS Tool/MS IIS Permission Manager put a check mark on the user you will use to log into your IIS Manager. rcp DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
