Upload the App_Offline.htm file to the root directory of your .NET application.Back Up Your Data
Before you start, make sure to back up all web data that you plan to update or overwrite.Recycle the Application Pool
Recycle the Application Pool via the System Configurator. This will restart all running processes.Update the Application
Upload your new or modified files via FTP and overwrite the existing ones.Remove the Maintenance File
Once the update is complete, delete or rename the App_Offline.htm file in the root directory.
Your application will then be available again as usual.
