Access and Edit Web App files hosted in Azure
I have an Asp.Net Web application hosted as a Web App in my Azure instance.
One of the requirement I frequently get is to view or edit the published ‘Web App’ files from Azure Portal.
As we cannot access the ‘Web App’ files from Azure portal, one of the simpler way to access the files is by using the Visual Studio ‘Server Explorer’.
- From the Visual Studio, open the ‘Server Explorer’ window
- Connect to the Azure Subscription
- Select the Web App under ‘App Services’ node and access the files.
Pre-requisites:
- You need to have Azure SDK 2.7 installed.
- Visual studio 2013 or higher version.

‘Publish Web’ option not showing up existing Azure Web Apps – Visual Studio 2015
I am using VS 2015 to publish my web application to one of my Azure web apps.
But all sudden the “Publish Web” window was not listing the existing web apps.
Not listing existing web apps
Fix:
- Install latest Microsoft Azure SDK 2.9.6 for VS 2015 (Download)
- You can also use ‘Microsoft Web Platform Installer’ for installation.
Install azure SDK 2.9.6
- Open the VS 2015 and choose ‘Publish’ and you would get existing web apps listed.

‘The given share name\prefix is not a valid name’ error – Azure ‘New-AzureStorageShare’ command
Other day, while I was creating a shared location in Azure using Azure Power Shell cmdlets, I got below error
The given share name/prefix ” is not a valid name for a file share of Microsoft Azure File Service
share name/prefix is not a valid name
Reason:
- “New-AzureStorageShare” command accepts share name only in lower case.
Fix:
- Update the command $s = New-AzureStorageShare “telcoip” -Context $ctx
Refer this Create shared drive using azure article on steps to share a location in Azure.
