first publish site at your local file system. then use any ftp file uploader software like filezilla and upload with that. This is the process which i follow to upload sites.

Ideally you should develop an API and host it as a webservice somewhere (azure?) and let the webapp and wpf app access only that service, not the database directly.

Hi thanks's for quick response. can you please describe your answer in detail.;)

are you familiar with webservices? basically you need to abstract all your business logic and data access away from your user interface and put it behind a service.

you could use MVVM in your UI (especially the one that is WPF) but it is not essential. I think you should go back and do some reading... ;)
