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.
