It's time to publish our native web application. Before doing that, ensure that the Task Runner
default
task is running, as we want to upload the latest version of our client files.
Right-click on the project's root node, then left-click on Publish. Select the Production-FTP profile and hit the Publish button to start the build and upload process.
The whole publishing process flow can be checked in real time within the Visual Studio Output window. As soon as the FTP connection will be attempted, we'll be asked for username and password, unless we gave our consent to store our login credentials within the Production-FTP.pubxml
file.
The publishing task will require a lot more time than it used to be for ASP.NET 4 applications, because the whole set of ASP.NET Core libraries will be published in the destination folder, together with all the required Angular 2 modules and dependencies.
