You may have a Web site hosted on a commercial server that uses the standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to upload and manage files. Visual Studio 2005 now has built-in support for editing and updating remote web projects using FTP. You can quickly connect to a remote Web site using FTP within the New Web Site and Open Web Site dialog boxes. Once your FTP connection is configured, which typically requires password permissions, you can open and edit your FTP-Deployed Web site much like you would any other site. You can Publish to it from the Build menu and, after you configure the debugger to attach to a remote process, you can even set breakpoints and debug the site using FTP.
