Hello,
When I publish pages I have tweaked in Visual Studio 2015 Community, I then see this warning dialog:
Because my passwords were going out without encryption, I posted to the VS forum where most folks explained that they had never seen that dialog before.
That seemed to indicate that there was a higher security publication method available in VS, but nobody could explain to me how to change settings to get the higher security.
Eventually, I tried changing my settings to look like this:
Build | Publish Web App | Connection
Publish Method: FTP
Site Path: Public_HTML
User Name: MyUserName
Password: MyPassword
Destination URL: FTPS://MyDomainName.com
When I clicked to validate, a check mark appeared. Next, I published a page and that worked properly without displaying the encryption warning dialog.
At that point, I thought that I had a security success, but then, I removed the password entry from those settings to force manual entry of the password.
When I tried that, the dialog returns.
Is there a way to use Visual Studio to publish pages with higher security? Or should I just give up, and use external software that has reasonable security standards?
Many thanks,
Lothar
