Connecting to Azure website via FTP

Question

What login credentials do I use to connect to the FTP site that is listed on the dashboard of my Azure? I tried using the same credentials I use to log into Azure but this

Answer 1

To be complete, you can FTP using two different credentials

1, it is already mentioned by @0x8BADF00D, if you downloaded the 'publish profile', you can see the automatically generated credentials for each site.

in short, if x=your website name, then username=x\$x and the password is a long system generated string

obviously, this is not meant for human user...at least I cannot easily remember a 20+ character random string...

2, there is a more user friendly way, you can set a username and password in azure portal

however "deployment user name" is directly tied to a Microsoft Account, it is the same for all your webapps. In order to use it to ftp into different webapps, you need to add a prefix.

Here, my username is "blabla", my website name is "test" ==> my FTP username is thus "test\blabla" (mind the backslash on windows) followed by the password I set on azure portal (no modification required)

here are the references from Azure:
