Uploading and configuring your .NET website
As the .NET Framework account shares a server with other accounts, you are unable to create an additional IIS application on our Windows servers. To publish a .NET website, you should use FTP software to upload the necessary files.
Visual Studio has a Copy Project option, which requires FrontPage Extensions to be installed on the domain name. This option will not work because FrontPage Extensions require administrator permissions that are not suitable for shared servers. If you have installed FrontPage Extensions, you should uninstall them through the control panel, before FTPing your files.
If you want to upload .NET assembly files (compiled DLL’s), you will need to create a directory within htdocs called bin and upload your .DLL files to this directory.
Where to upload your files, Every domain has a home directory where the web files are kept. This directory contains the following sub-directories:
htdocs
This is where you must put all of your web files (i.e. your .html, .gif, .jpg files etc.). Your web.config file must also be placed directly within this folder. If you have created a bin directory for your .NET assembly files (compiled DLL’s) this must also be placed within this directory and referenced from the web.config file and/or scripts.
Cgi-bin
This should not be confused with the Bin folder you create to store your DLL’s. While .NET scripts will work in this directory, it is considered good practice to use this directory solely for perl or CGI scripts.
logfiles
This contains the raw log files for your domain. You should not upload any files to this directory.
private
This directory contains private files that are not accessible to anyone accessing your site from the Internet. You should use it to hold information that the site needs to run, but which is not displayed (e.g. files and databases containing the names of users and their passwords).
