I am still experiencing the same issue I brought to here back on November 16, 2022. I cannot publish a .NET 6 ASP.NET Core app, from VS 2022. The error in the Output window is:
Error details: Could not connect to the remote computer ("OURSERVER"). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started. Learn more at: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE. The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. Publish failed to deploy.
However, Web Management Service IS installed AND running on the server:
Back in November it was suggested that a firewall rule might be what's causing the problem. I am not an expert at firewall rules and I've got a feeling that the person in IT I've been dealing with, isn't either. So, what can I tell her, which will help her to diagnose the problem?

Turn off Windows Firewall to see if the issue occurs again. You can turn it back on after testing. If it works after turning it off, it means there is an issue with the inbound rule.
And you can also try uninstalling and reinstalling Web Deploy.

According to that article, you didn't install "IIS 7 Deployment Handler" so that there is nothing on IIS to handle your publishing requests.
The paragraphs after "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found" are very important.

I'm asking through the IT call chain. The person I've been working with doesn't know.
@Bruce (SqlWork.com) the IT group have added port 8172 to the security system on that server. However, I still cannot publish to that server from VS 2022.
I've remoted to the server and added myself to the folder where the deployed website is to be reside. Then I tried to publish again, but I still get the same error (HTTP 404 Not Found).
