Visual Studio Publish Website Using SCP/SFTP

问题

Is there a way to publish a web site from Visual Studio 2008 using SCP or SFTP? I know it is possible to publish to my local filesystem and then perform the transfer with SCP, but I'd like something more seamless (e.g. part of Visual Studio). Does this feature exist? An addin perhaps?

回答1:

The built in system for publishing pages is a little bit limited.

One thing that I find useful is with WinSCP, there is a featured called "Keep Remote Directory up to Date". What it will do is set a bunch of file system watchers for your local system and if you change something locally, it will auto upload it. Using that and publishing to a local directory makes things easy.

回答2:

If you have Windows 10 and bash/linux subsystem installed and a Linux/BSD server you can:

Combine ssh and rsync

from visual studio, publish in a folder, say I:/www/WebProject
use this command that updates changes only, and delete files that were deleted/absent from publish folder thanks to --delete

bash -c "rsync -avH --delete --progress /mnt/i/www/WebProject -e ssh server:/var/www/"

Preparation (to do once)

You need to work a bit to allow ssh to work without password but with keys.

let's say your bash username is also the same on the server; if not, just use username@server
name your server:
- add xx.xx.xx.xx server to the file c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts)
- add your server to hosts from bash with sudo echo "xx.xx.xx.xx server" >> /etc/hosts
from bash, generate your keys:

ssh --keygen then [enter] (no passphrase)
