AzCopy upload file for Linux
I'm trying to upload a sample file to Azure from my Ubuntu machine using AzCopy for Linux but I keep getting the below error no matter what permission/ownership I change to.
$ azcopy --source ../my_pub --destination https://account-name.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer --dest-key account-key
Incomplete operation with same command line detected at the journal directory "/home/jmis/Microsoft/Azure/AzCopy", do you want to resume the operation? Choose Yes to resume, choose No to overwrite the journal to start a new operation. (Yes/No) Yes
[2017/11/18 22:06:24][ERROR] Error parsing source location "../my_pub": Failed to enumerate directory /home/jmis/my_pub/ with file pattern *. Cannot find the path '/home/jmis/my_pub/'.
I have digged over the internet to find solutions, without having a luck I eventually ended up asking a question here.
Answer
Although AzCopy was having issues for Linux I'm able to do the above operation seamlessly with Azure CLI. The below code listed on Azure docs helped me do it:
#!/bin/bash
# A simple Azure Storage example script
export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=<storage_account_name>
export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY=<storage_account_key>
export container_name=<container_name>
export blob_name=<blob_name>
export file_to_upload=<file_to_upload>
export destination_file=<destination_file>
echo "Creating the container..."
az storage container create --name $container_name
echo "Uploading the file..."
az storage blob upload --container-name $container_name --file $file_to_upload --name $blob_name
echo "Listing the blobs..."
az storage blob list --container-name $container_name --output table
echo "Downloading the file..."
az storage blob download --container-name $container_name --name $blob_name --file $destination_file --output table
echo "Done"
Going forward I will be using the Cool Azure CLI which is Linux compliant and Simple too.
