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://&lt;myazureapp&gt;.azurewebsites.net/hostingstart.html

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

&#34;The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.&#34;

Thank you.

Adding it solved the problem.
