Sigh. Every other ftp client I've used lets me enter the path to the site, the user id and password, and connects.. but not the one
in VS2005. Why does MS have to do everything differently?
Here's the problem: when I try to connect (through Copy Web Site) via FTP, I get the error message "The ~/ directory does not
exist". Yet if I try to connect to a subdirectory on the site, the connection works fine. Why isn't the VS2005 FTP client smart
enough to figure out how to connect to the root directory? How do I get it to do so?

Mark,
Correct me please if I am wrong, but I was not aware that "~/" is a
legitimate FTP folder directive. In ASP.NET it is translated to mean "root of
the site", but I don't recall ever seeing it used in an FTP command.

Peter,
I should've been clearer. I left the directory textbox blank in the logon dialog. The "~/" is the error message that VS2005
generates, not anything that I entered.
I stumbled onto a workaround, namely, to connect in passive mode. Why that should work I don't know, and why I have to do it I don't
know, but at least it works.

Interesting! You should check the ladybug (Product feedback site) and see if
anybody else has reported this, and post a workaround if appropriate.

Hi,
I have created an ASP.NET application (let's call it FooBar) with VS.NET on
my local machine, residing in http://localhost/FooBar. Deploying it to
another folder on my machine works well with FrontPage Server Extensions,
but I don't manage to deploy the application to my web provider http root
folder.
When I run Copy Project, I get an error message just saying 'Unable to

The Copy Web tool provided with VS.NET 2005 is very convenient. However
every once in a while it seems to think the files on the remote server have
changed, which they have not. Then when I use the Copy Web Site feature of
Copy Web to just copy the entire web site over, it thinks it has to
re-upload the entire site which takes a very long time - when in fact those
files on the remote have not changed.
Does anyone know why this occurs...

Hi all,
The following script is giving me weird problems. I have in this
directory an index.php and hurricane.php.
If the script gets $i = 'on' it is supposed to back up the current
index into a file called normal.php and then copy hurricane.php into
index.php. This should create a backup of the index and then put the
hurrican alert in place.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
