Migrating Web Site Content

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

For each Web site and virtual directory on the source server, you must migrate the content to the corresponding Web site and virtual directory on the target server. You can migrate the content from the source server to the target server by using one of the following methods:

  • Run the Xcopy command to migrate Web site content to the target server on an intranet or internal network.

  • Use Windows Explorer to migrate Web site content to the target server on an intranet or internal network.

  • Use the Copy Project command in Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET to migrate Web site content to the target server on an intranet or internal network, if the application has been developed by using Visual Studio .NET.

    Note

    Front Page Server Extensions must be installed on the Web server to use the Copy Project command.

  • Use the Publish Web command in FrontPage to migrate Web site content to the target server on an intranet or over the Internet, if the Web site has been developed using FrontPage.

    For more information about how to publish Web site content on the target server by using FrontPage, see Web Site Content with FrontPage in Appendix A: IIS Deployment Procedures.
