How To Download Your Source Code From Azure App Service
If you are like me you most likely have all of your eggs in one basket. For example, I have one laptop that is my daily driver. That laptop has everything I need on it including all the repositories that I contribute to. Well, the hard drive in my laptop decided to die the other day and I was not able to get my source code to one particular project that I have spend a lot of time on. The project I am speaking of is an API that I am running in Azure.
This API is one that I did not have under source control. I would make changes/update the code and then directly publish to Azure from visual studio. I thought I had lost all of the work I had put into building the API and would have to start from scratch but I found a way to download my source code from Azure.
Work Flow
So, before I show you how to download your source code from Azure, let me show you the workflow. The workflow is short and sweet:
- FTP into azure app service.
- Download the source code.
FTP into Azure App Service
First, log in to your Azure portal and click on the app service that you are wanting the source code for.
