Azure App Service not reflecting file changes from ftp

Question

I am new to Azure and I have created a very simple App Service in Azure with everything default. Changed the App Service Plan to B1. I can browse the app service home page and see the default page. I then connect using FTP and try to change the default page, but it did not reflect changes.

I even downloaded publish profile and published a .net core 3.1 web api with defaults, I can see the files are deployed using FTP but the api is not present. I even deleted the default page but the home page still appears. It seems the ftp is not pointing to default location where files are being picked up by asp.net core.

Answer 1

You can refer my answer in this post. Then use kudu to check whether the time of the last update file via FTP is consistent with the release time. If the file is not updated, of course this update has no effect. Then we can check the FTP connection str.

But first, I suggest you to modify index.html or default interface function and update by kudu. Then check if the update file is effective. If success, I can sure you code is ok.

Second, check your FTP Connection str.

Step 1. Find Deployment Center->FTP, click FTP then you can see Dashboard, into Dashboard find FTPS Endpoint,Username and Password.

Step 2. Use FileZilla, connect it. You can see files in it.

Then you can try again. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem to update via FTP.If the problem is still not resolved, I suggest that you can deploy to local IIS for debugging.
