VSS includes several features that make managing World Wide Web sites easier. For example, you can designate a specific VSS project as a Web site project, and then quickly create a site map of the HTML files in the project (and subprojects), check hyperlinks in the project files, and deploy the files to an Internet server location when they are ready. To be able to use any of these features, you need to first designate the project as a Web project.
To create a Web site project:
You should now see a special icon () on the project in VSS Explorer that you've designated a Web project.
Note You must set a proxy if you plan to deploy the files using FTP. See the Web tab in the Options dialog box on the Tools menu.
