Azure PowerShell Functions - connect SFTP and Storage Account

To connect an SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) server and a Storage Account using Azure PowerShell Functions, you can follow these steps:

1. Install Azure PowerShell Module (if not already installed): If you haven't already, you need to install the Azure PowerShell module. Open a PowerShell window and run the following command:

   powershellCopy code

   Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

   If prompted to install the NuGet provider, choose "Yes".

2. Connect to your Azure Account: Run the following command and follow the prompts to authenticate with your Azure account:

   powershellCopy code

   Connect-AzAccount

3. Install WinSCP .NET Assembly: To interact with SFTP, you can use the WinSCP .NET assembly. Install it using the following command:

   powershellCopy code

   Install-Package -Name WinSCP -Source https://www.nuget.org/api/v2 -Scope CurrentUser

4. Create the PowerShell Function: Create a new PowerShell script with your desired function. Below is an example of a function that connects to an SFTP server, downloads a file, and then uploads it to an Azure Storage Account blob:

   powershellCopy code

   # Import the WinSCP .NET assembly Add-Type -Path (Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE '\.nuget\packages\winscp\5.19.2\lib\netstandard2.0\WinSCPnet.dll') # Azure Storage Account information $storageAccountName = "yourstorageaccount" $storageContainerName = "yourcontainer" $storageBlobName = "uploadedfile.txt" $storageAccessKey = "yourstorageaccesskey" # SFTP server information $sftpHost = "sftp.example.com" $sftpUsername = "yourusername" $sftpPassword = "yourpassword" # Connect to SFTP server $sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{ Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp HostName = $sftpHost UserName = $sftpUsername Password = $sftpPassword } $session = New-Object WinSCP.Session $session.Open($sessionOptions) # Download a file from SFTP server $localFilePath = "C:\LocalPath\downloadedfile.txt" $remoteFilePath = "/path/to/remote/file.txt" $session.GetFiles($remoteFilePath, $localFilePath).Check() # Close SFTP session $session.Dispose() # Upload the downloaded file to Azure Storage Account $storageContext = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $storageAccessKey Set-AzStorageBlobContent -Context $storageContext -Container $storageContainerName -Blob $storageBlobName -File $localFilePath

   Replace placeholders (like yourstorageaccount, yourcontainer, etc.) with your actual details.

5. Run the PowerShell Function: Save the PowerShell script and run it in your PowerShell window. The script will connect to the SFTP server, download the file, and then upload it to your Azure Storage Accounthttps://leecyprint.com/

Remember to handle any error scenarios and enhance security by using managed identities or better authentication mechanisms if required.
