Hi I just signed up today. I was try to get my feet wet with the different features. I was just wondering how to go about deploying a website I developed locally onto the website root. For example, let's say my website locally resides at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite, so i can type http://localhost/mywebsiteand navigate to it on my development box. Now when I publish using VS.NET 2005 FTP (publish site), it says that it would overwrite the existing directories. From the control panel, as from the FTP window, i see directories under htdocs like cgi-bin, bin, etc. Does the message mean that these directories would be deleted if I clicked on "publish"? I don't want to do something and inadvertently have stuff blow up on me.
I believe that error just means if there are files or directories that already exist, they will be overwritten. If you are concerned about directories being removed (though they shouldn't) you can use FTP, you will have more control over your file transfers.
