How do I publish ASP.NET mvc project from linux using dotnet publish and publish profile?

- dotnet publish WebProj.csproj /p:PublishProfile=<publish_profile>

(this according to docs is cross platform)

When i execute this in windows platform, it gets executed successfully and it publishes to desired server, but when I execute it in linux machine, it publishes locally in bin folder but not publish in server.

Publish Method: WebDeploy

Following is the profile

 <Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
 <PropertyGroup>
   <WebPublishMethod>MSDeploy</WebPublishMethod>
   <LastUsedBuildConfiguration>Release</LastUsedBuildConfiguration>
   <LastUsedPlatform>Any CPU</LastUsedPlatform>
   <SiteUrlToLaunchAfterPublish />
   <LaunchSiteAfterPublish>True</LaunchSiteAfterPublish>
   <ExcludeApp_Data>False</ExcludeApp_Data>
   <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.2</TargetFramework>
   <ProjectGuid>1e96b425-2c23-42ed-a8b0-1a87b562da28</ProjectGuid>
   <SelfContained>false</SelfContained>
   <_IsPortable>true</_IsPortable>
   <MSDeployServiceURL>----------</MSDeployServiceURL>
   <DeployIisAppPath>--------</DeployIisAppPath>
   <RemoteSitePhysicalPath />
   <SkipExtraFilesOnServer>True</SkipExtraFilesOnServer>
   <MSDeployPublishMethod>WMSVC</MSDeployPublishMethod>
   <EnableMSDeployBackup>True</EnableMSDeployBackup>
   <UserName>Administrator</UserName>
   <Password>XXXXXXX</Password>
   <_SavePWD>True</_SavePWD>
 </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

I also tried using FTP method, that published locally both in windows and linux. (Both methods work in visual studio publish option)

@peterhuene Agreed. Please move this to WebSdk and we will add a message indicating Web Deploy is windows only.
