Upload files to VM
VMs
- Transferring files - we could build a post-deploy task to upload files from the local machine onto the VM. The pure ARM way is to upload files into a storage account first and then reference them in the ARM template. However, this requires a storage account to have been already created and the files uploaded. An alternative is to upload via Azure CLI or SSH - again, Farmer could wrap this up; it's what we do for app service.

@Thorium this is now supported through the upload_script_files feature - requires that the file is accessible publicly. I take it you want to upload files from local storage?
I was thinking of uploading non-script files, like a certificate and a web-server root folder (or zip).
The "script files" is a bit of a misleading term. It can be any file you want. The idea is that you can access them from any script that you run as part of the deployment process - so you could use it to upload files as part of the deployment and then use the script to copy the files to the appropriate part of the file system etc.
