Web Deployment tools for Visual Studio 2013

I am responsible for supporting a relatively complex Website project written with .NET 3.5.

Previously I was using Web Deployment Project with Visual Studio 2010 to deploy this website but at the moment I have only access to Visual Studio 2013.

As far as I know, there is no longer such a tool to be used for deployment in Visual Studio 2013 and I do want to compile the code before deploying to the production server. As mentioned earlier, the project is a bit complex and this would not be easy to be converted to a Web Application.

Any idea?

Unless I missed it, unsure what the issue is - in VS2013, Publish is what you are looking for (either WebSite or Application).

What exactly do you mean by "none of the (vs 2013 publish) options worked"? What is/was the issue?

In one of your comments, you state you want to "pre-compile" (aka "don't want to upload .cs source files) and that's a setting in Publish.

Pre-compile options

You can Publish to your local file system: "Custom" -> File System:

Publish to fs

Little bit confused with the question because you are keep referring about website rather web application.

If you are looking to convert web site to web app then you need to follow this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/aa983476(v=vs.100).aspx

Otherwise, if you are referring about the deployment project. Yes, it is no longer available.

I'd a very similar situation like you and Since 2013 I have stopped using any deployment project, instead I have started using Publish that creates a deployment package for you on a Network , FTP, Local Drive or even on Azure.

Here is a nice guide from Microsoft

If you still want to go for Deployment Project, then you would need to go for "Installshield" limited edition,which is free (http://samirvaidya.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/how-to-enable-installshield-le-for.html).
