Azure web app not displaying static html files at root

I have more than one static html file at the root of my web application. I can ftp to the application on azure and see them at the root directory /site/wwwroot/ but none of them will be display when navigating to them in a browser. For example the azure default hosting start file.

https://<myazureapp>.azurewebsites.net/hostingstart.html

Returns the error, which is the same error returned for all static html files at the root.

"The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

Thank you.

Adding it solved the problem.
