If you can spare some money, try a pro licence where you get "Courier" which does just that! Quote:
The Courier for Content does what it says - it lets you transfer umbraco nodes related to content (including Media) from one place to another - usually being between Dev/Stage/Prod environments, but the perspective is even bigger. With Courier for Content you can plan new editions of sites behind a firewall and publish the whole section in one transaction with a single drag'n'drop operation.

To just create a copy of your local website you do not need Courier.
Do like this:
1. Copy all the files in the www root to the production server.
2. Set the permissions for the NETWORK SERVICE account (or whatever account you web runs under). See the installation instruction for what folder to set permissions on.
3. Back up local database.
4. Restore database to production server.
5. Change web.config so that the connection string properties are correct for the production server.
Done.
This will give you a copy of your website.
What Courier can do, if I understand it correctly, is to automate this process and also keep the to copies synchronized after the copy process has been done. Please correct me if I am wrong on this.

Daniel is right, that's how I move from dev to production servers. Umbraco Courier is for when you want to keep both a stage/dev site and a production site running for ongoing development. It will let you build and test on the stage/dev site and then push to the production site, even if the production site has new content nodes that aren't in the stage/dev site. Courier also lets you send the production content back to your stage/dev site. It can sync in either direction. So the solution to your question is either a manual, one-time move as Daniel outlined or umbraco Courier for ongoing sync'ing between sites. cheers, doug.

Old post this but I use it anyways.
Does Umbraco need to be installed on the production server before the copying of files begin? Or can I simply just do the steps above and umbraco will run?
Thanks!
