Error when publishing from VS 2015 - The components for communicating with FTP servers are not installed <p>I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise with Update 1. I have a single solution, with a single ASP.NET web application project. I publish it by right-clicking on the project node, and clicking "Publish". I've setup a publish profile for FTP. Credentials work/tested/etc. Server connectivity is good.</p> <p>However, when publish from Visual Studio 2015, it says "The components for communicating with FTP servers are not installed."</p> <p>Things I've tried: - Validating FTP server name and credentials. - Clean/Rebuild - Restarting Visual Studio. - Kicking it (hard).</p> <p>Things I did not try: - Restarting PC. - Repairing Visual Studio. - Sacrificing a goat.</p> <p>I do NOT have Xamarin installed, but I do have Tools for Apache Cordova. I do NOT have VS 2013 (or any prior version) of VS installed.</p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/OczAY.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/OczAY.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
