Upload a local file to blob container by Shell command

Question

az storage blob upload-batch -d "$web" -s

When I run this command I encounter an error " argument --source/-s: expected one argument "

What would I add here? For the source how can I get the path-to-directory ?

I have tried this command "az storage blob upload-batch -d "$web" -s /home/cloud/index.html"

I agree with @Jayendran, You can use this command:

az storage blob upload-batch -d mycontainer --account-name mystorageaccount --account-key 00000000 -s <path-to-directory>

make sure to use you are mentioning the file path of the file in quote like this `"/home/cloud/index.html"

Answer 2

What should I add here? For the source, how can I get the path-to-directory?

az storage blob upload-batch command is used to upload multiple files to Azure blob storage.

Command:

az storage blob upload-batch -d <Your-container-name> --account-name <Your-account-name> --account-key "<Your-storage-account-key>" -s "/home/cloud/"

You need to mention the path up to the directory only in the source parameter.

Output:

In my environment, the above command was executed and uploaded multiple files to the Azure blob storage.

PS /home/xxx> az storage blob upload-batch -d xxx --account-name xxx --account-key xxxxx -s "/home/xxxx/dxxx"
The behavior of this command has been altered by the following extension: storage-blob-preview
