The Copy Web Site Tool
- Similar to FTP Utility
- Support Synchronization
- Especially useful when you cannot open files from the
remote site to edit them
- Provides Status of Files
Unchanged

The Publish Web Site Utility
- Precompiles pages, the source code in the App_Code
folder, and other source files into executable output.
Strips the source code out of files
eaves Stub Files and Compiled Assemblies
- Writes the executable output to a target folder.
Web.config File Deployment
- Edit the Web.config file on the target server each time the
project is deployed.
- Maintain separate versions of the Web.config file for each
environment (perhaps in separate folders or with
distinctive names), and copy only the version that is
appropriate to the target server.
- Create XST files to transform the Web.config and
manually apply the transforms manually when deploying.
