    <p>we've recently stumbled across the excellent <a href="http://www.dispatchasp.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Dispatch for ASP</a> FTP deployment plug in. It looks great apart from one thing: It doesn't work with <strong>Visual Studio 2010</strong>, at least for us, anyway. (It's <em>supposed</em> to work fine.)</p> <p>(Yes, we've tried everything: We've managed to get Dispatch working for another FTP site, but not the main one we regularly deploy to. We <em>have</em> managed to connect to our main site through FileZilla FTP, so the site itself is configured correctly. All settings have been triple checked, but the software still throws up weird errors (always to do with its internal libraries).)</p> <p>So does anyone know of any other comparable FTP-based, deployment plug-in for Visual Studio?</p> <p><strong>Here's what Dispatch does (and so any suggested replacement must do):</strong></p> <ul> <li>Monitor any altered files in the project. When a file is changed, it's added to a list of files to be deployed. </li> <li>To deploy these files to the live site, all we need to do is click "Upload" and the plugin will connect via FTP to our live site and upload the <em>selected</em> files.</li> <li>We can filter out any filenames we don't want to be monitored/uploaded (e.g. <em>.cs or web.config or /Images/</em>, etc.)</li> </ul> <p>I think that's all the features that we need. Thanks for any suggestions!</p> <p>Note: If you're wondering why we need such a service, it's because we deploy many site changes over the course of a single day. Publishing the entire project to a folder, zipping it up, then FTPing that zip file, only to have to unzip it, and then install the entire project into the live wwwroot takes far too long. With Dispatch you're able to upload individual files in a single click.</p>
