Best practices for uploading ASP.NET site to host?

Newbie ASP.NET question:

Now that I've created an ASP.NET site, how to I get it to my hosting
provider?

I've developed sites with Dreamweaver MX in the past - with Dreamweaver,
it's very easy. The ability to link to the remote site (via FTP) is built
into the IDE and all you have to do is click upload. Does Visual Studio
have a similar feature? How do most people deploy their sites to a remote
server from Visual Studio?

Thanks in advance.

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?

This appears to be a real barf bag with VS.NET - no integrated FTP upload to
hosting provider from the IDE. You would think the folks at MS were paid
well enough to think of this...
