The problem with Microsoft VSS and Copy web in Visual Studio .net

Asp.NETWhen I am using the Copy Web command in the Microsoft Visual Studio .net 2005 to copy asp.net files from the local to the remote server, sometime I got error saying “Access denied” (BTW, to see the Error Log, you will have to scroll down and click the Log… button which might be invisible if you have a small screen).

To resolve this problem, you will have to logon to the remote server to make sure

  • The destination folder is opened with Write permission for the ASP.NET users
  • If you are replacing the files, please make sure the files are not READ ONLY on the remote server

The item #2 happened to me a lot, and I had to uncheck the READ ONLY checkbox from the files’ properties. The only explanation I can come up is that the Microsoft Visual Safe 6.0 sometime made the files READ-ONLY since we are using VSS for the coding collaboration.
