Excluding Publish Paths

WebPublish does not maintain a list of the files and directories that are a part of a website. WebPublish assumes that every file and subdirectory that is in a website's directory is a part of the website. When WebPublish publishes a website, WebPublish searches the website's directory to locate the files and directories that are to be transferred.

Often, the local copy of a website will contain files and directories that never need to be transferred to a server. Quanta, for example, will create a project file in a website's directory that never needs to be transferred to a server. A directory containing templates is an example of a directory that never needs to be transferred to a server. If you want to exclude a file or directory from being transferred to a server, you will need to add a record to the publish database file.
