I created a new Wordpress/MySql website on Windows Azure. Can I download the entire website with database to host locally on my machine?
I can use FTP to download website files, but what about DB and other configuration if there is any.
Yes, you can.
Connect through FTP do copy Wordpress file. Open wp-config.php and take the connection string. After that, you can connect through Mysql using Worchbench and export database.

I'm having troubles moving my current website to a new host. The website is hosted on a www.website.org/wordpress and I need to move the entire website to a new server to which I have access via ssh and ftp.
The plan is the usual, backup all files and the database and then move the files to the new server, where the website will be hosted in a new address. But the tutorials that I've found use cPanel or other management tools that I don't think that I have access to.
The other method is to try and copy every file from my current webhost using ftp, but I don't know how to connect to the website and copy all files.
Somehow I'm having problems downloading the files from my website to my computer to move them to the new server.
Is there a simple step that I'm missing on how to log into the website to copy the file structure from wordpress?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
Through ssh you should try the scp command.
You can read more in this explicative answer How to copy a folder from remote to local using scp?.
EDIT
In your case would be:
scp -r user#sourcewebsite.com:/path/to/wp user#destinationwebsite.com:/home/user/Desktop/
Let's check that source and destination folder paths actually exist.

i have an wordpress website on my server but i don't own the domain anymore.
I can access to this site using total commander or filezilla but i can't access that page using google chrome. I want to copy that website. Is there any way to do that?
Yes, you can do few things like:
Files: From the FileZilla, download all Files
Database: From PhpMyAdmin if you have access download database, if you do not have that, then as you have FTP access, upload a lightweight mysql manager like this ONE file, https://www.adminer.org/ , upload it , and then give login for the database. You can get database login info from wp-config.php which you can access via FTP. And then EXPORT mysql database dump...
New Domain: Once you have both files and database, you can load them to any server or WAMP/LAMP on your local pc, and then do search replace for the URL from old domain to new domain like using , this awesome script: https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB
And it will make your site functional on new URL/Domain from existing site files and database.
I deployed my website from server to my local machine using duplicator plugin. The deployment was successful (no errors). However when I am trying to open the website I get a blank page.
I am using latest version of MAMP server on windows machine. When I try to open http://localhost:8888, I automatically get redirected to http://localhost which is a blank page. Though I am able to access the dashboard through http://localhost:8888/wp-admin. How do I resolve this issue?
1- create index.html file with any text on your local server and try to access it via http://localhost to see if local server is working fine.
2- you need to export mySQL database from website & import to local mySQL server, because on server database urls and names are different.
I have one web site and I want to upload it on server and i also want to upload the ms sql database with that web pages. Please tell me how to upload it on web server....
This is a rather generic question because there could be a lot of different problems and differences, but generally, you would take a backup of your server first. Here is some general information on that:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187510.aspx
Then log into your hosting provider, create a database using their tools, and restore your database backup to that new hosted database.
Next you would change where your database config in your files is pointing to the new database, then use an ftp client like Filezilla to ftp into your web server. The hosting provider should be able to give you the username and password. Upload the web pages / files to the public directory (usually /public or /htdocs or something along those lines).
