You might be able to extract the locations for the old versions using adsigetprop, before you change the virtual dirs, and then FTP those down to the machine running the build.
Thanks, Ryan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Clemmons Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 10:01 AM To: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nant-users] deploying asp.net applications Thanks Ryan, this plan did cross my mind. The problem I have with it is how to archive the old version remotely. Solving that problem, this might be a good solution. -scott >From: "Ryan Davis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "'Scott Clemmons'" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net> >Subject: RE: [Nant-users] deploying asp.net applications >Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2005 09:51:40 -0500 > >Not necessarily common, but one way just popped into my head: > >Store your application in a new directory every time you publish a new >version, and then change the IIS entry to have that web app >point to the new directory. > >The process would become: >1.
