.net - How to configure TeamCity with private files?

Question

I'm setting up TeamCity for Continuous Integration and (hopefully) Continuous Deployment. Some of the build steps will involve private files, e.g.

• .snk files for strong naming .NET assemblies
• password/token files for publishing artifacts (for example to NuGet or CodePlex)

Since these files contain private data I don't want to put them into the (publicly accessible) source control system.

I'm setting up http://teamcity.codebetter.com for AutoFixture so I don't have physical access to the server. I was hoping for a feature that would let me upload such files, but can't find anything of the kind.

What would be the most appropriate solution?

Answer 1

TeamCity supports multiple VCS roots, so you could just add an extra VCS root with these private files.

Obviously this would require that the second repository is private - but that is what you want any way. Having those files in source control is a great thing.
