WebDeploy using publish settings

  • Article

In the new version of Web Deploy 3.6 you can now use your publish settings that were created within Visual Studio. So instead of doing this

msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:contentPath=d:\web\wwwroot -dest:contentPath=siteName,computername=https://dev/msdeploy.axd?site=siteName,username=myUser,password=myPass,authtype=basic

Can now be simplified to this:

msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:contentPath=d:\web\wwwroot -dest:contentPath=siteName,publishsettings=d:\dev.PublishSettings

Happy days!
