Create FTP access to a virtual directory on Azure

Finally, Azure does not allow you to create a user for a subfolder. It was necessary to create a resource in my application in which the person could upload the project in .zip and the process would unpacked inside the folder. Problem solved.

Azure does not implement the FTP protocol on its websites. The tool is another. It's called WebMatrix.

You can download it here .

EDIT

I think this answer is out of date. There is now a way to publish via FTP as well but I do not recommend it for ASP.NET MVC because a lot of the automatic settings are made by Web Deploy.

Daniel,

The Azure WebApp service provides support for FTP publishing, however it gives you access to the entire publishing area and does not support specifying access to a specific folder.

What you are advised to do in this scenario is to create two WebApp services:

• YourAppPrincipal.azurewebsites.net
• YourTerceirizada.azurewebsites.net

And then you organize your addresses with subdomains.

• www.dominioprincipal.com.br
• third-party.domain.com

Now, to meet something like dominioprincipal.com.br/solucaoterceirizada , only if the outsourcer sends you the sources, you can merge both applications and upload in a single hosting.

However, because I'm outsourced, I prefer the first scenario, so the outsourced solution - which, theoretically, you do not have control like the way it was developed - will run under a host independent of the primary one. So if she has a problem and falls, she will not knock down next to the main app. And vice versa.
