Using the VisualStudio2102 publish tool many files located in other folder were deleted. I am sure this is a bug of this tool but, Is there a way to recover the deleted information?
If this happened within the last few days you could open up a ticket with the support department and ask for an archived copy of your site files, you could use that to recover your deleted text file.
Its not a bug in Visual Studio or on the server. Its how web deploy works. If you deploy to a directory it will first delete the files in that directory and then publish the web site you created to that same directory. It always a good idea to make a backup of your web site files before web deploying. You can use an FTP client like FileZilla. FileZilla can be downloaded here: https://filezilla-project.org/ To learn how to connect to your site using FileZilla please read our knowledge base article here: http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a311/configuring-filezilla-to-access-your-web-site.aspx Once connected with FileZilla you can go ahead and download all of your web site files locally for safe keeping. Then go ahead and web deploy in Visual Studio.
