Publishing applications with Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0

Before visitors to your website can use a web application, the application must be published to the site. You can publish applications by using one of the following methods:

xcopy

The xcopy command copies web configuration files from one web server to another. You can copy an ApplicationHost.config or Web.config file, depending on whether you want to apply the configuration to a remote web server, a remote website, or a remote web application.

For information about how to use xcopy to copy configuration files, go to IIS 7.0: Copy Configuration Files to a Remote Server on the Microsoft TechNet website.

FTP

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) helps you publish and manage web application files. However, FTP by itself is not a secure way to transfer files. If you want to use FTP, you must also use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to help protect the file transfer.

For information about how to use FTP with IIS 7.0, go to IIS 7.0: Set Up FTP in IIS 7.0 on the Microsoft TechNet website.
