Publishing my web application files to a remote server wwwroot

I'm new to publishing web application and I'm trying to publish my web application to a remote server. I can connect to that server using a Remote Desktop connection but I cannot publish my application to the server directly from VS2012. I am looking for ways to publish the web application manually over the server.

I have created a new website on IIS 7 on the remote server and created a directory for my website under wwwroot. I'm not sure about which files to copy from the application to be pasted in my wwwroot folder. I tried copying my whole project folder under VS2012/projects, but I received an access denied message for the "Packages" folder in my project.

Am I doing it in a wrong way? should I publish the files in some other way using VS2012 ?
