Problem when publishing Website in IIS

[sudhaMurugesan]

Hi all,
In my ASP.net application, i browse & save some files & open later. For this, I save files in a Temp folder . When i publish the newer version of the same website in IIS, all the previously saved files gets deleted & i cannot retrieve later. If I create a virtual directory for that Temp folder is it Ok. I also have 3 more folders to hold my files. Do I need to create seperate virtual directories for each one. Can any one guide me ? Please... Thanks in advance.

Sounds to me like you need a better system for deploying and backing up files. Suggest not backing up the site on the production server, except the dll(s) in case of problem. You also need to be aware of versioning and how to handle it. HTH.
