Console app converted to Azure Webjob not able to wite to a file location mentioned in app.config

Question

I'm converting a console app running on a windows server to an Azure Web job. This console application has references to the.txt log file location in app.config.

I was able to deploy the webjob, but when I run the webjob, I get the below error as the webjob is not able to get to this path, which is on the server. Access to the path 'C:\Jobs\logs\Log 4_27_2020.txt' is denied.

What is the solution for this?

Also, the same console app also has the file layout defined in.xml format as:

How can I get the webjob to reference this location?

Thanks!!
