Azure Web App FTP permission is denied and cannot upload files and cannot create folders

Viewed 2757

I'm managing small web app, deploying with (always) FTP. My teammate requested me to upload a folder including small teaser website. As usual routine, I opened the Azure Web App Deployment Center FTP dashboard and copied server address and credentials and pasted them into FileZilla(latest version). Login went well and I could see file list and folders. However, when I tried to upload files, remove existing files, all of the writing attempts failed with 550 Access is denied error. What could be the cause of this?

On the other hands, I could remove existing files on KUDU debug console.

I check the ftp link the deployment center provide, looks like the portal provides a read-only ftp link. So go to your web app, click Get publish profile, choose the publishUrl under tag profileName=<yourwebname-FTP>.
