HOWTO Make a project to deploy root-folder with sub-folders and files to a shared network folder.
Please help,
We want to copy a root-folder with sub-folders and files to a shared network folder, but there appears to be no way to do this with Octopus out-of-box. In fact, the word “sub-folder” seems to not be documented anywhere in Octopus.
If there is not a out-of-the-box way to do this, is there a way for Octopus to unzip a ZIP file to a working folder, that a subsequent script would use to then copy the files from?
Please provide screen shots, especially as the word sub-folder seems to not be mentioned anywhere, and even the word folder seems to be rarely denoted in Octopus documentation.
If you just want to use Octopus to copy the contents of a package to a prescribed location, your best bet would be to use the Deploy a package step template, and then enable the Custom Install Directory feature to specify the UNC path (\\SharedServer\Share\), or your mapped network drive. I’ve included a screenshot of what your deployment step will look like:
