I wish to deploy mvc5 project to remote server using xcopy.
But I don't know how to do.
I am googling and find some issues, but I don't know about it.
One post is http://www.go4expert.com/articles/configure-deploy-website-using-aspnet-t30200/. I never find "‘Internet Services Manager’ option" in this post.
And I try to open web site in vs2013, but I can not find "Remote Site" item in it.
Please help me how to deploy or lead me to some useful site.

Makes no sense. On prerequisite to development is the skills of using computer system as a regular user. Off-topic.

Can you help me how I can do it?

First of all, why xcopy? What deployment option is offered by your hosting? Usually, this is the FTP...

Thanks for reply. Now I deploy web app to remote server and I don't have admin account to that. My host say that I can test my web using xCopy. I have only power user account, not admin. Can I test web as my host said.

Test has nothing to do with deployment. I can only repeat what I told you before.

Publish the site to a folder on your website (Build->Publish and select File system). That will put everything in that folder needed to run that website. Sign up with a web host and they'll give you access to a folder on their remote server, normally via FTP. Copy the contents of the folder you published to to the host site.

That takes care of the site, if you have a database you'll need to follow the host's instructions on how you deploy a database to their server, that differs from host to host.

Thanks for reply. I copy the contents and paste to the host site. Of course I have power user permission to read/write host site. But I can't see page when I put host url in browser? What mistakes I do? Can you lead me to success? P.S. I have no admin account and password about remote server.

In terms of the domain it might not be propagated yet, it can take 24 hours before it takes effect. Any problems with a hosting service are best handled with the hosting company.
