How can I view the deployed files in Azure

Question

Can anyone tell me is there is a file "view" option available in Azure?

When I log in to azure to look at a website that I've deployed a while before, and I wanted to see exactly what files Azure is hosting.

I'd love to be able to see exactly what files are there. I can see there's the Visual Studio Online option which allows you to live edit your server code but that is more than I need. I just want to be able to check that certain files are deployed and others are not. Any help?

Answer 1

Ofcourse there is always a way, one way or the other, which works!

If you're just trying to look around, and see the various directories and files in your deployment, you can enter the site's "Kudu" dashboard, using the url format http://<yoursitename>.scm.azurewebsites.net

This will give you a web-based dashboard, including a debug console (web-based) where you can explore your various directories (and the directories will show up visually as well).

More info can be found in this post from the Azure Websites team.

Hope it helped!

In Visual Studio, in the window "Server Explorer" you click and connect on "Azure".

=> App Service

=> Your site name

=> Files

Here you see all your files and you can edit them directly in Visual Studio.
