Deployment credentials management for FTP

We can connect to Azure web application with FTP also. We can configure FTP tasks in the VSTS for the deployment of a package file.

Perform the following steps to get FTP-related details:

1. In the Overview section of the Azure web application we have created, copy FTP hostname or FTPS hostname.
2. Click on More.
3. Select Get publish profile. It will download a file that has details about FTP username and password, which is constant and can be used for FTP connection.

4. To set user specific FTP credentials, click on Deployment credentials, set username, and password:

This username and password is for all subscriptions associated with the Microsoft Azure account, while the username and password in the publish profile file are per-site.

In the next section, we will cover the basic monitoring capabilities available in the Azure portal.
