I have a Windows VPS which I want to use to host my application files for my .NET software projects. This is so I can check the handy option in Visual Studio 2012 (Premium Edition) of "The application should check for updates".

However, getting this to work is a nightmare.

There are 2 fields I need to fill in:

enter image description here

My question is, what is each one looking setting and how should my web server be set up accordingly?

I assume the publishing folder (in red) can point to an FTP site and as such, since I'm using FileZilla, I don't need to configure IIS on my VPS.

Then I have the installation folder (in blue). I assume this must be a URL which is resolvable, therefore will need to be configured in IIS and testable by simply copying this value into a browser.

Are my assumptions about the 2 values correct?

Publishing folder should point to any ftp location on server where you can copy/publish code to, Installation folder is location where website is installed/published and can be accessed by a url, you need to setup website in IIS and it should be resolvable
