Is there a way to update just one file in microsoft azure without having to redeploy everything?

Question

I am making a web app with python and running it on azure. It the program creates jsons and stores them. If I want to update the program is there a way to just redeploy the main python file so that it doesnt overwrite all of the josn files stored on the server?

Answer 1

You could update the file using FileZilla or some other FTP client. The publish profile contains the info you need. Download the publish profile from the app service overview blade, open it in Notepad, pull out the FTP address, username, and password, and import those into FileZilla. Then just drag the file across.
