Accessing Files created by Webapp hosted by Azure

Question

New to cloud hosting in Azure, recently created a flask webapp that will open, if not generate a txt file(with root directory), but i dont think if there is any way to access that file? i have not created or subscribed to any storage services provided by azure yet. Will i be charged since the file is technically stored somewhere but i cant access it?

Answer 1

I have created a flask app which creates a text.txt file and deployed it to web app in Azure using VS code.

you can get the created file inside the file output.tar.gz.

app.py:

from flask import Flask

app=Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def Hello():
    text ='hello, File created using flask app'
    with open('text.txt', 'w') as file:
        file.write(text)
    return "this is a Flask app"


if __name__=="__main__":
    app.run()

deployment:

OUTPUT:

• Open kudu for linux app using this url https://yourwebappname.scm.azurewebsites.net/newui.
• Go to File Manager, go to directory site/wwwroot and download the output.tar.gz file.
• text.txt file will be available inside the file. as shown below.
