I have deployed my FastAPI on an Azure Web App, and the web app is working fine. How can I view or access the deployed codebase files in the web app?

Hi @Riyaj khureshi
Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
Go to the Azure portal and select your Azure Web App.
In the left sidebar, scroll down to find the Development Tools section.
Click on Advanced Tools (also known as Kudu) and then click on the Go link. This will open the Kudu dashboard in a new tab.
Explore the File System:
In the Kudu dashboard, click on the Debug console menu and select either CMD or PowerShell. You will see a file explorer interface where you can browse through your web app's file system.
Navigate to the site/wwwroot directory, which is where your FastAPI application files are typically deployed.
Alternatively, you can also use an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client to access the deployed codebase files. To do this, you will need to enable FTP access for your Web App and then use an FTP client to connect to the Web App and view the files.
To enable FTP access, follow these steps:
Once FTP access is enabled, you can use an FTP client to connect to your Web App and view the deployed codebase files. You can find the FTP hostname and credentials in the "Deployment Center" -> "FTP" -> "Dashboard" section of the Azure portal.
I hope this information is helpful.
Thanks @Laxman Reddy Revuri for the reply. The codebase file is not showing under the site/wwwroot directory. I have deployed the web app using Container Registry. Is this applicable here?

Hello,
You can use App Service Editor to view the deployed files in Azure Web App. To access the editor, go to App Service Editor (Preview) in the Development Tools section of the left-hand navigation of your app and click Open Editor:
Thanks @Tadas Šukys for the reply, but under Development Tools, the 'App Service Editor' option is not showing.
O, I see. You probably running your web app on Linux machine.
Are you able to establish an SSH connection to the VM and then access the files?
