Will WP Live Server mess with my files?

Although we cannot guarantee that nothing unexpected can happen that might damage the content being transfered to the Live Server, WP Live Server Deploy DOES NOT touch your original files. It is good practice however to backup the live server incase something unusual happens on the live server. (Includes failed FTP uploads or unable to connect to the Database to perform the import)

I don't trust WP Live Server to do everything for me, but I like that it injects the new URL into the MySQL Dump, can't I just get the dump?

Yes, you can! In the "Live Server Deploy" page in the admin section, visit the Manual Export section and download the MySQL dump.

My FTP Root isn't in a subfolder like "/public_html", what now?

Then you must save the ftp root as "/"

Live Server Deploy can't find the remote capabilities?

Chances are the ftp root isn't set properly. See My FTP Root isn't in a subfolder like "/public_html", what now?
