For FTP publish profile the AfterPublish target runs prior to FTP connection

[mguinness]

I have setup a publish profile (.pubxml) with FTP/FTPS Server (WebPublishMethod: FTP) and am looking to Run a target before or after publishing.

The BeforePublish target works as intended, but the AfterPublish target runs prior to the FTP connection which is problematic since I need to restart a remote service after files are transferred.

Would it be possible to add another target like FTPPublish similar to FileSystemPublish used in profile Folder (WebPublishMethod: FileSystem) that invokes after files are copied? The preferable solution would be to have the FTP transfer occur prior to AfterPublish target runs.

Using the following to show which targets are run, the final target is DotNetPublish but that still runs prior to FTP connection.
