  Migrating multiple sites with Web Deployment Tool Reply Contact I am sure I am just experiencing a mental lock but am not making sense of how I move dozens of websites from one server running IIS6 to another (also IIS6) using this tool. I see the ability to create the xml file but it is just not making sense at the moment. Here is what I am trying to do with a few examples...  Migrate ftp settings:       - ftp site1       - ftp site2       - ftp site3 Migrate AppPools:       - Default App Pool               - all default application settings       - apppool2 Migrate Websites:       - website1       - website2       - website3       - website4 Default SMTP Virtual Server:

This will migrate all sites, appPools from source server to the destination server. msdeploy -verb:sync -source:webserver60 -dest:auto,computername=secondiis6server You can read more about webserver60 provider here Let us know if you need more information.

The one thing it did not work for was all the FTP settings. Is there a way to move the FTP settings over? We have about 120 FTP accounts setup on the server for the various websites and this would be a valuable item to do via the tool.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.... msdeploy -verb:sync -source:metaKey=lm/msftpsvc ,computername=Remote1 -dest:lm/msftpsvc
