FTP Access to a Single Azure Web App

Tuesday, August 18, 2015 6:45:23 PM

We want to give FTP access to a single Azure Web App but the standard Azure Web App password works for all of the Web Apps.

The solution is to distinguish deployment credentials from publish profiles.

Deployment credentials

Are for all web apps .
To change this, go to the Web App in the new portal > settings > deployment credentials.

Publish profiles

Are for a specific web app .
To view the credentials, go to the Web App in the new portal > Get public profile. In the downloaded file, find the publish profile that has the FTP publish method. You will need the publishUrl, userName, and userPWD.
To change this, go to the Web App in the new portal > … > Reset public profile.
