how to place the file in under wwwroot folder in webapp?

Digrase, shubham 0

could you please let me know how to place the files in a particular folder in webapp? I am deploying a zip package using the commandline to my webapp. but its missing web.config file to I need to add it manually under the wwwroot folder. Is there any command that I can try to add this file without having any changes to the zip that I have deployed and web.config ?

i tried this az webapp deploy --resource-group <group-name> --name <app-name> --src-path config.json --type=static but getting the error. An error occurred during deployment. Status Code: 400, Details: "Path must be defined for type=static", Please visit https://###############.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/deployments/latest to get more information about your deployment

Could you please provide me syntax for it?

if you want to manually make some changes you can access Web App Kudu console from a browser - you can do a few things including view, edit and upload files to the virtual wwwroot

Keep in mind any changes you make would be lost the next time you deploy - so working manually like this is not recommended past troubleshooting/development work

@Ben Gimblett yes i am aware this changes are lost in next deployment.
Thats why I want to know which command I can use to solve this issue? so that I can automate this.

@Digrase, shubham Thanks for asking question!

To place a file in a particular folder in your web app's wwwroot directory, you can use Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell. Here are the steps to add a file to the wwwroot folder using Azure CLI:

Open Azure CLI and connect to your Azure account using the az login command.

Select the subscription that contains the web app using the az account set command.

Upload the file to the wwwroot folder using the az webapp config storage-account add command. You will need to specify the name of the web app, the resource group, the storage account name, and the file path. See- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/webapp/config/storage-account?view=azure-cli-latest For example:
az webapp config storage-account add -g MyResourceGroup -n MyUniqueApp --custom-id CustomId --storage-type AzureFiles --account-name MyStorageAccount --share-name MyShare --access-key MyAccessKey --mount-path /path/to/mount
The file will be uploaded to the specified folder in the wwwroot directory.

Regarding your question about adding a web.config file to your web app without modifying the deployed zip package, you can use Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell to upload the file to the wwwroot folder. Here are the steps to add a web.config file to the wwwroot folder using Azure CLI:

Open Azure CLI and connect to your Azure account using the az login command.

Select the subscription that contains the web app using the az account set command.

Upload the web.config file to the wwwroot folder using the az webapp config storage-account add command. You will need to specify the name of the web app, the resource group, the storage account name, and the file path. For example:
az webapp config storage-account add --resource

@SnehaAgrawal-MSFT As per this documentation, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-connect-to-azure-storage?tabs=access-key%2Ccli&pivots=container-linux
the command you mentioned above will create a storage account mount or will it help me any file from the strorage account file share to be uploaded to the wwwroot folder?
does it have any separate command for doing that?
