How to install SSH in app service container

Question

I need to login to a linux container hosted in an app service via SSH (the image doesn't have it installed) in order to copy some files. Is there a way to do this via the portal? I'd like to avoid extending the image if possible. I tried fiddling with the startup command available in the UI with no luck.

Thanks!

For the Web App, SSH is supported, but you need to configure the SSH yourself when you use the custom image. Only the built-in images which Azure Web App provided can use the SSH directly without configuring yourself. When you use the built-in image, you can go into the Kudu and the SSH is already configured there.
