Transfer from old to new server

[RF]

I have a complete web site running IIS5 with asp.net. I have many projects
that I'd like to transfer to a new server IIS6.

How can I manage all this transfer from from system to another?

Thanks,

RF

depending on your setup it may be as simple as
- Create the virtual dir
- xcopy

I also have ASP.NET projects, can they be easily transfered using xcopy?

Thanks,

Open the project in VS.NET
do a rebuild after making sure that the configuration manager is set to
Release

In the solutions explorer windown.. you will see a few buttons on the top..
one of them is called copy project.
if your new server has frontpage extensions installed for your app... then
it would just be a case of specifying the http path and selecting.. copy
only files needed to run the project
it will ask you for your frontpage extensions username and password... enter
the needful and click ok and you are done... it will copy all the release
files on to you new server's app
