> VS.NET has the ability to "copy" the site to a remote website (it's in
one of the top-level menus).
This allows you to copy only the required files for running the
application (usually only *.aspx, *.dll, *.config, *.resx files).
Personally, I do a manual xcopy-style deployment, but for a large
application this is hardly ideal.

Hi and thanks for the reply. I found the "Copy Project" selection under the
"Project" menu. In the Copy Project window I can set the Destination
project folder, Web access method, and Copy options (e.g. Only files needed
to run app, All project files, All files in source project folder). The
problem is it's not clear how to set FTP login parameters - does this
feature support FTP as a "Web access method"? The only selections appear to
be FrontPage and FileShare. I will be very disappointed if uploading my
site takes anything more than a click.
As you know, most hosting providers only allow FTP access for uploading
sites to their servers. If VS.NET can't do this, are there other solutions
you'd recommend? Perhpas a VS.NET add-in or something?
