Azure Web Job writes files in a website's directory

Question

I attached a Web Job to my Azure website. The webjob prepares a file and I want to save it on a proper folder in the website.

Environment.CurrentDirectory

Answer 1

The path for the root of your Azure Web Site is (usually) d:\home\site\wwwroot. d:\home is also stored in an environment setting called %HOME%.

To get more insight on the different paths you can use on your site go to: https://{sitename}.scm.azurewebsites.net, there' you'll have the Debug Console where you can browse through your site and Environment to see all the environment variables you can use.

Your WebJob will have access to the same paths/environment as your Web Site.
