I'm using Save-AzrWebApp function to downloads files from an Azure Web App.

How to do it is described here: https://blog.ipswitch.com/how-to-copy-files-from-an-azure-app-service-with-powershell

My problem is: it doesn't matter which SourcePath I set, it always downloads me files from wwwroot folder.

Code example that I use:

$syncParams = @{

    SourcePath = 'wwwroothistory'

    TargetPath = $TargetPath

    ComputerName = "https://$Name.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/msdeploy.axd?site=$Name"

    Credential = $Credential



}

Sync-Website @syncParams

Get-Item -Path $TargetPath

Actually it doesn't matter what I put into SourcePath (even not existing path) it will download content of wwwroot.
How to use it in a proper way?

If you want to download file from web app, you could use this web app kudu api via powershell.

Try the command below, it works fine on my side.

$creds = Invoke-AzureRmResourceAction -ResourceGroupName joywebapp -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/config -ResourceName joywebapp2/publishingcredentials -Action list -ApiVersion 2015-08-01 -Force

$username = $creds.Properties.PublishingUserName

$password = $creds.Properties.PublishingPassword

$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $username, $password)))



$apiUrl = "https://joywebapp2.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/vfs/site/wwwroot/Content/Site.css"

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $apiUrl -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo);"If-Match"="*"} -Method GET -ContentType "multipart/form-data" -OutFile "C:UsersjoywDesktoptest.css"

Test result:

Update:

If you want to download a folder, you can use the Zip api in the doc I mentioned, it allows downloading folder as a zip file.

Sample command:

$creds = Invoke-AzureRmResourceAction -ResourceGroupName joywebapp -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/config -ResourceName joywebapp2/publishingcredentials -Action list -ApiVersion 2015-08-01 -Force

$username = $creds.Properties.PublishingUserName

$password = $creds.Properties.PublishingPassword

$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $username, $password)))



$apiUrl = "https://joywebapp2.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/zip/site/wwwroot/Scripts/"

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $apiUrl -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo);"If-Match"="*"} -Method GET -ContentType "multipart/form-data" -OutFile "C:UsersjoywDesktopScripts.zip"

Note:The zip doesn't include the top folder itself. Make sure you include
the trailing slash, e.g, I download the Scripts folder, we need to use Scripts/ in the apiUrl.
