Question

Files uploaded via FTP to the web app are not sync'd to the web server root folder

Rob Knobben 0

When we upload files to /home/site/wwwroot via FileZilla (FTP) they are not automatically copied to the nginx server doc root /var/www/wordpress/. However, if we create or modify them via ssh they are copied instantly. It's like the FTP transaction is not detected by the watch process.

Hi Rob Knobben,
When you upload files via FTP for Azure App Service, they are placed in/Home/Site/WWWWROT directory. However, these files cannot automatically sink the document route (/VAR/WWW/WordPress/) of NGINX Server. This may be behaved because the FTP sinsiting method does not support build automation, including file synchronization processes that can be triggered by SSH verbs. To ensure that your web app moves correctly, you can consider using alternative signs that support build automation, such as GIT-based deployment or zip sins, which can handle file synchronization more effectively.
