Publishing windows service on Visual studio 2013
c#, deployment, ftp, visual-studio-2013, windows-services
Solution
You can't publish a Windows Service over ftp. You need to build a proper installer, or use something like Remote Powershell.
Problem
I'm trying to publish my windows service application from my computer (developer computer) TO the development server. So, I've created a ftp server in my server and what I want to achieve is: The ability to export my application (in Release mode) to the server via FTP. I've tried to use the "Publish" option (right click on my WindowsService project->Publish). But, this command publishes my project with ClickOnce file. What I want is that the "publishing task" will basically copy all the "bin\realse*" files to the server directory. I'll start the service manually. I'm using Visual studio 2013 (C#). Do you know how to do this? Thank you!
