We have an ASP web site done with VB.NET. This website is also checked into
SourceSafe.

Now we need to move/copy this web site over to a different IIS server - a QA
and/or Production server. I am not sure exactly how to do this.... Is there
a 'copy' utililty anywhere in .NET or IIS? Do we copy it manually (which
files, then)? Do we need to first create a virtual directory and then copy
the files from the old directory/server to the new one? Or just copy the
whole virtual directory? And I would assume that the SourceSafe entries
should still be pointed at the development server, since that is where we
will be doing development coding??

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Tom: Cool, that was easy! Now, the only other question I have is this: I
forgot to mention that our development server is Win2000 w/IIS 5; however,
our deployment/QA/Production server is Win2003 w/IIS 6. Can we still use
these same processes? Or is there a migration involved because of the two
different IIS versions?

The server is irrelevant.
