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'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:
Azure Web App Cloning
Backup Azure Web App
Restore Azure Web App
FTP client can be install on app server:
apt-get install ftp
I want to get files of website back which I have deployed on azure. Is there any way to download or get that files from azure ?
Yes, you can use FTP for that. Use this search link for details.
Firstly, you could access Azure website files (under /site/wwwroot directory) via FTP using your deployment credentials. You could find (or set) deployment credentials by going to App Deployment>Deployment credentials in Azure portal.
Besides, Kudu Console tool that gives us both command line and file browser access to sites, you could download website files via Kudu Console tool.
Having never used Azure before I'm attempting to deploy a simple F# Suave app to Azure using FTP. Ultimately I want to deploy via github but I initially thought FTP'ing it would be the easy first step. According to https://suave.io/azure-app-service.html it should be straight forward.
These are the steps I followed
Created a new web app in Azure including a resource group
and app service plan. All on the Free Tier.
Downloaded the publishsettings XML file that Azure created.
Cloned this repo: https://github.com/isaacabraham/fsharp-demonstrator
Used FileZilla to connect via FTP using the creds
from step 2.
Uploaded the files (via FTP) from
fsharp-demonstrator/src/SuaveHost (which includes the necessary web.config file) from the repo cloned at step 3 to
the site\wwwroot on Azure.
Navigated to Azure site url.
Then I receive the error:
The specified CGI application encountered an error and the server terminated the process.
(When I look at the folders on Azure under site\wwwroot I don't see any obj or bin folders. I don't think any msbuild process occurred. That doesn't seem right.)
Anybody got any idea what the problem is?
I suspect the issue is that when you deploy via FTP, then Azure does not automatically run the deploy script specified in the .deployment file.
The build.fsx script uses Kudu service to deploy the built files, so it might be easier to just use Github deployment rather than FTP - this way, Azure will do the deployment for you.
If you want to deploy via FTP, you'll need to build the project locally and upload the output. I'm not sure how to best do this with Isaac's Kudu-based demo though (ultimately, you need web.config that points to your built executable like this)
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
