7 years ago @joriyann , Thanks for your feedback. Supporting folder for this task is in our backlog.
You can try out Deployment Group feature which is pull based deployment model. You can configure agent on the target Machine and use IIS Web Deploy task where we support folder. Please refer to the below docs for more details.

Let us know if this helps.
Hello,
While I was experimenting on my.visualsyudio.com, I tried the IIS Website Deployment template and it was containing the IIS Web App Deploy(Preview) task that allow to deploy to an IIS website from a Package or Folder. I wanted to use the Folder option.
When I tried to look for more information about the task, I was redirected to the IIS Web App Deployment Using WinRM that only allow Web Deploy Package as deployment source.
I am not able to generate a zip package for the deployment so I would like to use the Folder option.
How can I choose the folder option from the WinRM extension ? Do you plan to implement this feature ?
Thanks
