I just opened a free Azure trial account and went through the various forms to create a test web app. I would like to edit the source files locally with Visual Studio 2015 however. Is it possible to download the files generated during sign-up, and if so, how? Thanks for any help!
You can access your files by navigating to https://<app-name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole and sign in if prompted. Your files will be in D:\home\site\wwwroot folder. For that folder you will see a download icon (the first one) that you can use to download your site files.
Our Free and Shared (preview) plans are ideal for testing applications in a managed Azure environment. Basic, Standard and Premium plans are for production workloads and run on dedicated Virtual Machine instances.
Azure App Service enables you to build and host web apps, mobile back ends, and RESTful APIs in the programming language of your choice without managing infrastructure.
You can download your project file using KUDU site: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/benjaminperkins/2014/03/24/using-kudu-with-windows-azure-web-sites/
Select Debug console -> CMD from there you can go inside site -> wwwroot and select download button to the left of any folder:
It will zip up all the files under that folder and start downloading.
