[FIXED] How to prevent an existing file being uploaded via Visual Studio Publish

Issue

Maybe it's a common or silly question but I didn't find any appropriate solution.

I have a JSON file located at my www-root folder, I don't want to upload this file every time I publish my website using Visual Studio.

How can I do that?

I'm using the latest build of Visual Studio 19 and ASP.NET CORE 3.1

Solution

Look at the following links. Should do the trick.
