msdeploy not copying files starting with a dot

  • 772

Some of the files for the website I'm moving start with a dot, IE .htaccess or .hiddenFolder or anything similar to that. I'm trying to move these sites from IIS6 to IIS7 (there's hundreds of separate sites), but it won't copy these files and the program fails. Does anyone know a way around this?

C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy>msdeploy -verb:sync -source:metakey=lm -dest:archivedir=L:\ancomm2,encryptPassword=pass > msdeployarchive.log

Error: Attempt to perform an unauthorized operation on file 'L:\ancomm2\Content\C_C\Inetpub\vhosts\Servers\20937\localuser\ajmoore\.Security'.
Error: Access to the path is denied.
Error count: 1.
iis-7 iis-6 msdeploy

  1. Check the permissions on both the IIS and make sure that Shares are enable for Drive and stop any firewall if running.
