Question

is it possible to make nant run a publish on mvc project or a good old web application project
and after the publish make nant FTP the files to the web server

UPDATE: found the solution to the ftp problem
Nant ftp task thanks Paco

what i mean by publich
is there a command line application or nant task that can public like visual studio publish...

Answer 1

There is a Ftp Task for nant. Beside that, you have to create a script that copies the files and directories you need and the config files. I don't do it automatically, because I want to have control over database update scripts and changes in web.config.
