Azure web site FTP access / 530 User cannot log in
I just tested our account here is an example:
FTP: ftp://waws-prod-bay-014.ftp.azurewebsites.windows.net/site/wwwroot
UserName: fake__dev\$fake__dev
Password: Nope
Port: 21
I think make sure the username has the \ in it.
I had similar problems lately, while trying to reach waws-prod-....azurewebsites.net
with my custom deployment credentials, using ftp software like Filezilla. I could reach the server using the publish credentials, but not with my deployment credentials.
For me it turns out that Filezilla sometimes chooses for a HTTP protocol, rather than the FTP. In my case it meant that Filezilla went to ftp://waws...
when I used the publish credentials, but goes to http://waws...
when using the deployment credentials.
Simple fix: always use ftp://
in front of the url.
I opened a case with Microsoft, and after some back and forth and testing, two things came out:
There was a service issue which may or may not have impacted us - it's not clear as it was a partial outage edge case situation.
There seems to be a bug in the Windows 10 FTP command-line client as of build 10130 where it doesn't properly handle the credentials. I haven't done a network capture or anything; using another client seemed to work, so I filed a Feedback item and moved on.
