Publishing from Mac into a hosting (SmarterASP.NET)

This example, I will show how I did to publish the .Net Core that I build in my mac to a smartasp.net hosting.

In your terminal, you should be in new-project folder. There you should run:

dotnet publish --output publish

Pushing .net core from your local host into your hosting using terminal.

We won't use FTP because you can't upload all the files and folder at once. We will use NCFTP but this one you should not use in a public place because it is not using ftps.

In you terminal in any folder type command below to install brew:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Source: https://brew.sh/

Now let's install NCFTP, in your terminal type:

brew install ncftp

Let's connect into the server using ncftp

Access your publish folder, if you are in new-project folder go to publish folder.

cd publish

Then type this command to upload all the files and folder.

ncftp -u yourFTPusername -p yourPWUsername ftp://ftp.yourftpsite.net/site2

put -R *

It should upload all your files into the Site2 directory in my case.

If you go to your host url you should be able to see your site up.

Observations:

- We are using ncftp, this is not safe because it does not have FTPS. You can use any other ftp. I didn't research so much but if you know any other ftp that is safe and easy to setup let me know.

Learning .Net Core - Using mac to build an Single Page Application in .Net Core

I am not going to explain each stuff because I don't know and I am learning as well, here are the commands that take me to start one .Net Core Vue application and publish it on smartasp.net.

For more details on what are you doing read the sources.

1. Install .Net
1.1. Go to https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/macos
1.2. Download .Net Core and Visual Studio.
I installed Visual Studio and .Net Core SDK to try. But I guess if we use only VS code we don't need to install Visual Studio.
1.3. Check if .Net core is installed, open the terminal and type:
dotnet --version

You should see the version dotnet version on my case it shows 2.1.4

2. Creating a new project using SPA(Single Page Application) templates.
Source: "Building Single Page Applications on ASP.NET Core with JavaScriptServices"

2.1. Let's create a vue project, in your terminal, go to the folder that you would like to create your projects. In my case I was on Documents/Project, then I typed:

mkdir new-project cd new-project dotnet new vue npm install Source: Modern Web Development using ASP.NET Core template, Vue.js and Webpack

3. Running the app, in your terminal type:

dotnet run

Source: Microsoft - dotnet run

After you see the "Request finished in xxxx 404" you can open localhost.

http://localhost:5000

You should see the template example right now.
