Is there a way to view deployed files in Azure?

Question

Is there a file \"view\" available in Azure? When I log in to azure to look at a website I\'ve deployed there is no obvious way I have spotted to see exactly what files Azu

Answer 1

Since you are using Azure Websites, Azure wants to "manage" it for you, and as a result, you cannot connect to the VM itself. If you were using a Cloud Service, you can obtain the RDP information from the Azure Console and just remote into the machine.

For your situation, you can use FTP as an option. Here is blog that describes one approach:

Here is another option using WebMatrix: http://www.microsoft.com/web/post/how-to-edit-a-site-hosted-on-windows-azure-with-webmatrix
