That's possible.

When you publish an application by using ClickOnce, the Publish Location property specifies the location where the application files and manifest are put. This can be a file path or the path to an FTP server.

You can specify the Publish Location property on the Publish page of the Project Designer, or by using the Publish Wizard. For more information, see How to: Publish a ClickOnce Application using the Publish Wizard.

To specify a publishing location

  1. With a project selected in Solution Explorer, on the Project menu, click Properties.

  2. Click the Publish tab.

  3. In the Publish Location field, enter the publishing location by using one of the following formats:

  • To publish to a file share or disk path, enter the path by using either a UNC path (\Server\ApplicationName) or a file path (C:\Deploy\ApplicationName).

  • To publish to an FTP server, enter the path using the format ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/.

Note that text must be present in the Publishing Location box in order for the Browse (...) button to work.
