Is there a file "view" available in Azure? When I log in to azure to look at a website I've deployed there is no obvious way I have spotted to see exactly what files Azure is hosting.

I'd love to be able to see exactly what files are there. I can see there's the Visual Studio Online option which allows you to live edit your server code but that is more than I need. I just want to be able to check that certain files are deployed and others are not.

If you're just trying to look around, and see the various directories and files in your deployment, you can enter the site's "Kudu" dashboard, using the url format http://<yoursitename>.scm.azurewebsites.net

This will give you a web-based dashboard, including a debug console (web-based) where you can explore your various directories (and the directories will show up visually as well).

More info can be found in this post from the Azure Websites team.
