Requirement of Copy Web Site

Question

What is the requirement of Copy Web Site?

Answer 1

The Copy Web Site is the tool which is used to deploy Web site by replication its content files. The Copy Web Site tool also checks whether or not the latest version of a file is present at the destination. If files of the most recent version are found at a destination, then a Copy Web Site tool doesn’t cover up the older version of the files. A Copy Web Site deployment tool contains the following key entities:

• Project destination – It specifies destination folder where we have to deploy application. Destination directory could be placed on the remote computers or servers that allow us to copy Web site contents by using Front Page Server Extensions, FTP, or HTTP protocol implementations for the content transfer.

• Project source – It specifies source directory, that contains contents and the references of the Web site during development time. We can say that project source specifies the site that you at present have opened in Visual Studio 2010. Copy Web Site tool picks every files for use from this location.

• Synchronizing two Web sites – It synchronizes two Web sites by replicating each other's files. Synchronization checks files on local and distant sites and make sure that all the files on both sites are up to date.
