Automatic web application update
I have a very bad situation: I need to maintain an asp.net web application hosted in an environment that I don't have access to. For every little intervention, I have to go in person, including the verification procedures as this is a government agency.
I was wondering if there is a way to partially fully update an asp.net web application from within the application itself from some other web tool.
I have no remote desktop or vpn and it all has to be done over http.Thank...

I don't think it's a good idea to give your application write privileges to disk. The best solution would be to have a termination process (maintenance) on the same machine that will check your server if there is a new version and deploy it as appropriate. But, of course, this process must have privileges to write to disk and access the Internet (or external network). Since this is a government agency, I do not think they will get carried away with such a decision.
