I am trying to run a Tridion 2013 SP1 installation on Microsoft Azure using a full PaaS scenario (with Azure web apps).
At this point I am running into a rather breaking limitation while configuring the deployer server: In the cd_storage_conf
I can only configure an absolute path (either local or UNC) for the filesystem storage, while the only way to copy files to another Azure web app is with FTP or SFTP. Does anyone know a way to work around this limitation? Any undocumented configuration options, or perhaps an extension?
By the way, I know I probably should not be using the deployer in this way (depending on filesystem storage for deplyment), but we still have some legacy components that depend on files being deployed to virtual folders.
