empty database after ftp publish to production (entity framework)

In my production test database all contents is lost.

I published to a local directory on my development machine, then i transferred the files  by ftp  to the production test machine.

I wanted to make SQL changes to the database manually.

I tried to login the website, but that did not work, i checked the database , and it was empty .

What hapend here ? Any ideas ?

Best regards, Bradly
