azure pipeline publish dotnet core remote host - .net-core

Question

I'm using azure pipeline to build and deploy my Asp.net core project to remote server,I successfully build and publish files to artifact staging folder ,and then I use ftp upload task to upload files to remote server, but the problem is all the files are in the same folder and wwwroot folder is not there so website breaks because of the css and js files.
but when I use the 'zipAfterPublish=true', it generates the right files and folder
this is my yml file :
`
trigger:
- main
pool:
vmImage: 'windows-latest'
variables:
solution: '**/*.sln'
buildPlatform: 'Any CPU'
buildConfiguration: 'Release'
ftpServer : '*****'

ftpRootDirectory : '*****'

As #lexli shared, you can check the "preservePaths":
For example, suppose your source folder is /home/user/source/, which contains the file foo/bar/foobar.txt, and your remote directory is: /uploads/. If this boolean is selected, the file is uploaded to /uploads/foo/bar/foobar.txt. If this boolean is not selected, the file is uploaded to /uploads/foobar.txt.
