Copying ASP.NET Application Content

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

When no installation program or provisioning scripts exist for your ASP.NET application, you can copy the content of the ASP.NET application to the corresponding Web site and virtual directories that you created on the Web server.

You can copy the ASP.NET application content to the Web server by using one of the following methods:

  • Run the Xcopy command to copy ASP.NET application content to the Web server on an intranet or internal network.

  • Use Microsoft Windows Explorer to copy ASP.NET application content to the Web server on an intranet or internal network.

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

    Note

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

  • Use the Publish Web command in FrontPage to copy ASP.NET application content to the Web server on an intranet or over the Internet, if the Web site that contains the application has been developed using FrontPage.

    For more information about how to publish ASP.NET application content using FrontPage, see Publish Web Site Content with FrontPage in Appendix A: IIS Deployment Procedures.
