    Usefull tips. I searched around and I do not see anywhere that you need to put the website name prior to the login like that site_nameusername. Thanks

    Hi, I have tried it and it doesn´t work. You have to download your "Publishingprofile" and have to use the username and Password which is configured in the XML. See the following link: weblogs.asp.net/.../azure-web-sites-ftp-credentials.aspx Greetings Steven

    Great guide! I prefer mapping the FTP site as a network drive so you don't need a special client. See this site: revision3.com/.../hak5gtae5

    I had a problem with my dev machine and needed to download my files from my azure site. AvKash's description of FTP on Azure worked perfectly. Thanks, AvKash! Jeff
