I am trying to move to publishing a web site to a remote FTP site. I have WS 2008 at both ends (my dev environment and the production server) and have configured FTP Publishing. The basic plumbing seems to be in place because when I use the Publish command I get prompted for credentials and the prompt telling me that the target directory will be wiped clean. I see all the files deleted on the production server and then start reappearing as the publication continues.
This takes a long time (I may have a seperate question about performance later) but files start appearing on the production server and this continues for 10 minutes or more. Then I get the wonderfully repetitive error show up:
Unable to add folder 'utils' to the Web site. Cannot create folder "utils".
Error: Unable to add folder 'utils' to the Web site. Cannot create folder "utils".
The publication process then aborts. So, I can't publish my application.
Any thoughts on how I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks.
Mark
