I just opened a free Azure trial account and went through the various forms to create a test web app. I would like to edit the source files locally with Visual Studio 2015 however. Is it possible to download the files generated during sign-up, and if so, how? Thanks for any help!
You can download your project file using KUDU site: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/benjaminperkins/2014/03/24/using-kudu-with-windows-azure-web-sites/
Select Debug console -> CMD
from there you can go inside site -> wwwroot and select download button to the left of any folder:
It will zip up all the files under that folder and start downloading.
Web apps are accessible via ftp, so you can download/upload individual files.
However: The idea is that you should be editing locally, then pushing your changes to your web app deployment, not pulling from. To facilitate this, not only do you have ftp, but you also have git/github,bitbucket, dropbox, etc. just look under your Publishing settings, for Deployment Source:
Ok I decided to just delete the app I created while signing up and re-create it from within Visual Studio; worked fine.
From azure console or kudo console , you can push using git to your azure devops repository or any repository
git init
git remote add <url>
git add .
git push origin master

I've got .Net solution Built in VSTS. My Release also succeeded but I'm not able to see my WebApplication running. Find the screenshot attached
Please find my Deploy azure app service task screenshot attached .
Please suggest if i miss any configuration.
I see your package or folder to deploy in Deploy Azure App Service task is pointed to drop folder. Instead it should be pointed to zip file inside the drop folder.
Eg: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/TestApp/drop/TestApp.zip
Try this and update if any other issue.
It is the content of hostingstart.html, which is in the wwwroot folder of app service, you can check the files by accessing https://[web app name].scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole and go to site\wwwroot folder.
If the app service can’t recognize the web project (e.g. Global.asax) and there aren’t the default page files (Web service Application settings.), it will display hosttingstart.html page)
So, you need to check the files in release artifact.
If it is the web deploy package (zip file), you need to publish it through Web Deploy. (Check Publish using Web Deploy option and specify package path in Package or folder box (e.g. $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/*.zip), you can clear additional files by checking Remove additional files at destination option)
I need to copy the files from my app service A to my app service B.
To do this I can simple download the A files over FTP to my computer and upload them to B over FTP.
Is there a way to do this ftp download directly from A to B? I tried azure app service console and kudu power shell but I'm getting the following error:
I Know that I can clone the entire app service but that's not what a I want.
Thanks for the suggestions.
As far as I know, azure kudu don't support ftp tool.
Besides, I don't think there's a way to copy files without downloading and re-uploading, at least I found nothing like this in the List of FTP commands and no client I have seen so far supported something like this.
You need download it firslty and upload it again.
Here is a workaround, you could use some tools to help you copy files.
These tool also will cpoy the files to local(in temp folder) and upload it again.
For example WinSCP FTP client does support the remote copy.
You could just right click the file after login in and select remote copy tag.
If you want to copy files from A to B in kudu, I suggest you could use git tool to help you copy the files(the entire app service).
More details, you could refer to below steps:
1.Generate the git url in your web service A.
(1)You could firstly set your deployment username and password.
(2)Enable local git deploy
(3) Find the web service git url in the overview.
2.In the kudu, locate to the site folder and change add below codes:
Notice: you need delete all the files in the wwwort folder add password behind the user name as below format:
https://{username}:{password}#xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.git
Code:
git clone {git url} wwwroot
Result:
Not sure what exactly you want to achieve and how this is related to programming, but here is a bunch of info that will help you:

FTP client can be install on app server:
apt-get install ftp
I have a deployed web application on Azure that I seem to have lost local copied of the source files.
I'm logged onto Azure portal but can't seem to find any of the deployed files.
Anyone give me some pointers in where I should be looking to locate the deployed files.
The easiest thing to do would be to either connect via FTP to download all of your files or create a local Git repository and clone the site.
First thing you will need to do is reset your deployment credentials if you do not know what they are. You can do this by clicking on more commands on the web app info blade and then clicking "reset publish profile"
To connect via FTP use an ftp program such as FileZilla to connect and download.
To clone your files to a local Git repo, setup your web app for continuous deployment using the following button on the web app settings blade.
You can also find detailed instructions here: Continuous deployment using Git in Azure App Service
Both methods will let you acquire all your files that are published to the web app.
It's easy to download your files using the SCM site. Go to:
https://.scm.azurewebsites.net
and then click on CMD on the top bar.
Then you can download all of your site content in a zip. Note that the actual site content will be in the wwwroot folder in the directory "site".
I have a file to large for Git, and my Dropbox storage dropped, so it now full.
Can OneDrive for Business be used like a DropBox for deploying web sites?
OneDrive is now supported. It creates a Apps > Azure Web Apps > YourSiteName folder in your OneDrive root.
Then just drop your web files in that folder, and then hit the Synch button in the azure portal and it will pull the files from the folder.
I just deployed a node.js app from my OneDrive.
As of October 2016 onedrive has been added to the deployment option source on azure.
Simple answer is NO, currently we have only below options for source control that are supported by Azure:
Visual Studio Online
GitHub
Bitbucket
Local Git
Dropbox
CodePlex
List item
Mercurial repository
Continuous development allows this origins:
Visual Studio Online
OneDrive
Local Git Repository
Github
Bitbucket
Dropbox
External Repository
In the case of OneDrive, you only have to log in using the credentials of the OneDrive account from where you want to deploy the website from, and then select the folder.
OneDrive doesn't work for CD as you have to manually sync in the portal :( I've not tried DropBox.
It's seems VC is the only workable solution which is not ideal as you have to check in built artifacts - that's an anti pattern
I converted an MVC5 app to an Azure Cloud service project and it created the Azure project (used this page for instructions http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh420322.aspx#ProjectTemplates
)
I checked in the newly added project to TFS by right-clicking the project and selecting Check-in. When I tried to get latest from another dev machine, the Azure project does not show up in the solution explorer. What am I missing? Does each dev machine need to create the Azure project independently? I can see the files in TFS and they were copied down to my local drive, but the project doesn't show up under the solution.
thanks,
Andy
You need to checkin the changes to the sln file also, and ensure your workspace mapping includes the solution file.
