Renaming files in blobs storage

Hi,
I want to rename files in blobs storage which are inside the container. I can't find any demo code. Please help
Regards,
Nitin

Please note that rename operation is not natively supported in blob storage. So in order to rename blobs, you would need to perform 2 operations - Copy & Delete.
So what you will do is copy the blob to a new name. Because copy operation is async, you must wait for the copy operation to finish. Once copy operation is completed successfully, you would then delete the blob.
Hope this helps.

Hi Will thanks per the reply
I have make some changes in the code and now i am using the v4.0.30319 azure storage for downloading and able to download a file upto 3.5 GB. Now the problem is that each file size is showing 0 KB.
Here is my code and snapshot:

Access blob storage files by specific domain. (Prevent hotlinking in Azure Blob Storage)

Hi,
My application deployed on azure, and I managed all my file to blob storage.
When i created container with public permission then it accessible for all anonymous users. When i hit URL of file (blob) from different browser, then i will get that file.
In Our application we have some important file and images that we don't want to expose. When we render HTML page then in <img> tag we define src="{blob file url}" when i mention this then public file are accessible, but same URL i copied
and hit to anther browser then still it is visible. My requirement is my application domain only able to access that public file in blob storage.
Amazon S3 which provide bucket policy where we define that for specific domain only file will accessible. see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/example-bucket-policies.html
Restricting Access to a Specific HTTP Referrer

hi Prasad,
Thanks for your post back.
All of SAS and CORS could work, but not comprehensive.
For your requirement, " My requirement is my application domain only able to access that public file in blob storage.", If you want to stop the other domain site access your blob, you may need set the CORS for your blob. When
the origin domain of the request is checked against the domains listed for the
AllowedOrigins element. If the origin domain is included in the list, or all domains are allowed with the wildcard character '*', then rules evaluation proceeds. If the origin domain is not included, then the request fails. So other domain didn't access
your resource. You also try the Gaurav's blog:
http://gauravmantri.com/2013/12/01/windows-azure-storage-and-cors-lets-have-some-fun/
If you access CROS resource, you also need use SAS authenticated.
However SAS means that you can grant a client limited permissions to your blobs, queues, or tables for a specified period of time and with a specified set of permissions, without having to share your account access keys. The SAS is a URI that encompasses
in its query parameters all of the information necessary for authenticated access to a storage resource (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-shared-access-signature-part-1/
). So if your SAS URI is available and not expired ，this URI could be used to other domain site. I think you can try to test it.
If I misunderstood, please let me know.

Will

Azure blob storage can not load file

I am trying to follow the MSDN tutorial on creating a container in blob storage and am getting the following error:
Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Data.Services.Client, Version=5.6.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
I have tried numerous stack overflow suggestions such as this
one , to no avail. I have also tried uninstalling Azure storage, and re-installing it as well. Just in case it is helpful here is my test case for Azure storage:
public void TestCloudStorage()
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageConnectionString"]);
CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("pictures");
container.CreateIfNotExists();
Thank you in advance for your help!

HI
I know what happend, that's the Nuget Package error.
Azure Storage nuget package 3.0+ have this error.
My solution is use Azure nuget package 2.1+
1 delete all the dll reference for Azure storage (Or recreate a new project)
2 input below command in package Manager console
Install-Package
WindowsAzure.Storage -Version 2.1.0.4
That will resolve your problem absolutely .
Aslo you can refer to other peoples solution.

Force file download for IE9 on Azure Blob Storage

Hello,
I am trying to use Azure Blob Storage as a location for secure file downloads using Shared Access Signature. Everything is working very well, however the problem I am having is I am trying to allow the user to save files from the browser and I have all browsers
except IE9 working.
Reviewing this question,
What content type to force download of text response?
this works well when I can control all of the headers, however in Azure Blob Storage, I have set the Content-Type to application/octet-stream and this allows all browsers except IE to ask the user to save the file, IE simply opens the file. It appears that
known file types will open (example .jpg, .wmv etc…).
In Azure, I have found no way to set
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="My Text File.txt"
Is there a way, using Azure Blob Storage, to use IE to download any file directly from Azure Blob Storage?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Actually, we can't set Content-Disposition for blobs, and I can't think of any other workarounds. From my experience, in most case IE's behavior is fine. I would like to know why you have to prompt a download? The user can see the text file, and
if they wish to save it locally, they have more than one way to do that (copy paste, save file, etc.). If they simply want to read the text and then forget it, that's also fine. They don't even have to download it and then double click a local file to read
the content.
If you have to modify the behavior, the only workaround I can think of is to use a web role as an intermediate bridge, and add the Content-Disposition from your web role.

Ming Xu.

Streaming files from Azure Blob Storage through Node.js server

Hello,
I am currently trying to implement download server with Node.js Express app in a way that website visitors would be able to download files via stream straight from Azure Blob storage - so the server won't need to download files to its local storage. Here's
how I do that:
outStream is the response object (res) received by Express router; blobSvc is initialized like this:
blobSvc = azure.createBlobService(conf.azureStorageConfig.account, conf.azureStorageConfig.key, conf.azureStorageConfig.host);
. There are several issues I face, for example - while small files get downloaded well, the bigger ones (even 40 MB) do not finish the download successfully, throwing an error in console:
It has to be mentioned that the files are zip-archives, and while the error is thrown, the file is not completely downloaded to the client's machine - the archive is broken.
There are other issues, like the fact that the client can't download more than 1 file from the server simultaneously - he gets response timeout after trying to start downloading the second file.
What is the right way to use streaming with azure storage library in Node for client downloads?
Best Regards,
Petr.

File Roll Behavior for Blob Storage Output

What is the file roll behavior when using blob storage output for a stream analytics job. That is, when is the current blob closed, and a new blob opened? I notice that when using json output, the blob is a json array of events. Is the blob valid json
while it is being written to?

Today, the file is rolled when it reaches a certain size, but it is not safe to rely on that behavior. Do you have a need to control the roll behavior?
The blob is an almost valid JSON while it is being written to --- namely it is missing the closing ']'. If you add it, it will parse.

How to delete a file in blod storage using mobile service

This
link shows how to add a file using windows phone 8 mobile service. I would like to know how I can delete the file once it is stored in the blob storage. I have typed following codes by using existing resource name and image url after the file has been successfully
uploaded and although I do not receive any errors, the file does not get deleted in the storage either:
CloudBlockBlob blobFromSASCredential =container.GetBlockBlobReference(todoItem.ResourceName);
await blobFromSASCredential.DeleteAsync();
Can anyone help? I am using 3.0.2.0 Thank you.

Hi,
If use above code to delete other blob file, does it success? see more:
how to delete azure blob storage , please consider this factor, Storage Emulator 2.2 is currently incompatible with Storage Client Library 3.0.0.0. This has been mentioned in Storage Team Blob as well:

How to set CORS properties for BLOB Storage using node?

Hi - I just got started with Azure using a Node-based web site and mobile services.
I am following various documentation in order to provide an API for users to upload images via a time-restricted SAS for the BLOB Storage.
In order to upload my image, I need to set the CORS configuration for the BLOB Storage. Unfortunately this cannot be done via the management portal.
I'm unclear as to how to accomplish this. I'm considering using the startup.js file in my mobile service to make a post request to the BLOB Storage REST API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh452235.aspx
Are there appropriate methods in the Node SDK to make this easier, especially the signing part?
What is the recommended way for setting CORS properties for the BLOB Storage via Node?
Thanks for your help
Stefan

Unfortunately Node SDK does not support CORS functionality yet. Your option would be to write code which consumes the REST API for setting CORS. Not sure if it helps but there's a free tool out there written by my company which you can use to set CORS
on your storage account. More information about this tool can be found here:

Hi stecorp75,
To troubleshoot above error, please make sure the following things.
1. Use the RBS.msi file on this link http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=16978.
Do not download the rbs_x64 link given in TechNet article
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748631.aspx .
2. Ensure that you run command prompt as administrator and then run your commands for RBS installation.
3. Follow the steps in this similar
blog to install RBS on SharePoint 2013.
However, if you still fail to install Remote Blob Storage, I would like to recommend you post the question in the SharePoint 2013 forum at
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=sharepointadmin . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
There is a similar thread for your reference.

How to use Blob storage to office 365 sharepoint online library documents

Hello,
Considering that we cant uploade a file with size more than 250 MB and it is recommended using Remote
Blob Storage (RBS) if large files are supposed to store in SharePoint.
My question is, how to use RBS or Azure Blob storage to store files instead of SQL database.
What is the configuration or code i need to write to accomplished this where i would prefer if it can be done simply using some configuration.
any sample or tutorial would be great help.
Thanks,
Asjad

HI,
What we did, we deploy small Azure PaaS application what used Azure Blob Storage and table and then show it in Office365 SharePoint online trough iframe. This gives you flexibility to customimze the PaaS application and show the content at blog storage.
We tested this in SharePoint ONline multitenant and Dedicated plus in On Premise SharePoint with the custom code in separate IIS server published trough UAG to Internet. This allows you to save or replace your file server with Azure and small PaaS apps in
and show the content on SharePoint ONline trough Iframe.

Renaming files with invalid characters in their names on NTFS partitions, introduced by operating systems other than Windows

Essentially, Linux created some files with colons (:) in the name on a NTFS partition where I have Windows installed. I have since uninstalled Linux, but now I can only view these files in Windows Explorer. I can't open them, I can't even rename them to
correct the problem. It's as if they don't exist, because of the invalid search paths.
If I try to rename them in Windows Explorer I get following message.
The file name you specified is no valid or too long.
Specify a different file name.
Well isnt' that something?... isn't that nice? Windows is able to display these files, but it doesn't allow me to open them and it certainly doesn't like me to rename them. So why is it whining about it then, when I'm trying to help? It says "try a different
file name". Yeah, right! Like I haven't tried that one already! It doesn't matter what file name I input it will never accept it.
So what am I supposed to do now? Ditch Windows and go back to Linux? Surely, Microsoft doesn't like the sound of that. Sure, I could reinstall Linux or run a Linux live system to correct the problem. But what good is Windows then? I might as well switch to
Linux altogether.
After doing some research I now know by fact that it's (kind of) possible to rename files from UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems to those compliant with Windows by using something called file name character translation. To some level this is essential and
necessary for Windows interoperability with other operating systems (Windows is not the only operating system in the world). But this seems to be very complicated and I can't get my head around it. My brain is in overload. I don't know where to start.
Once there was a...
There's the Windows Services for UNIX (SFU) 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5. The first two versions were based on MKS Toolkit, a package licensed by Microsoft from MKS Inc. The later versions were based on the similar Interix product, after Microsoft purchased the company
that made it.
Then there's the new Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA). These are services for UNIX components. They are supposed to have Client for NFS v3 included as well. But the server components from the SFU line is missing (e.g. Server for NFS). These are included
in Server editions of Windows.
Then there's the Microsoft Knowledge Base article
289627: "How to Enable File Name Character Translation". This article seems to describe exactly my situation.
Windows and UNIX operating systems have restrictions on valid characters that can be used in a file name. The list of illegal characters for each operating system, however, is different. For example, a UNIX file name can use a colon (:), but a Windows
file name cannot use a colon (:). If a UNIX user attempts to create a file with a Windows illegal character on a Windows Services for UNIX network file system (NFS) share, the attempt is unsuccessful and the UNIX client computer receives an input or output
error.
It goes further than that. At first glance, this KB article also seems to offer a solution to this exact problem, with examples as shown below.
For example, the following maps the UNIX colon (:) to a Windows dash (-):
0x3a : 0x2d ; replace client : with - on server
I checked these values in charmap.exe and they are correct. Except for 2D not being a "dash", it's rather a hyphen ("hyphen minus" to be exact), but these two have pretty much the same appearance and they get interchanged a lot, I'm sure
they are used to it by now. (Yes, the characters! They don't mind.)
Then there's this registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Server For NFS\CurrentVersion\Mapping
Well, of course, I don't have Server for NFS. So this is a dead end. Well, actually, it was a dead end from the beginning...
1. First of all, I'm not working with a network share on a NAS or SAN storage. The files are on the local disk drive where Windows is installed, so that's a DAS for you.
2. I don't have SFU! Well obviously, I'm on Windows Vista! So that means SUA!
3. SUA are service components only. No server components. Can you guess what that means? Yeah... no "Server for NFS" since it's a server component.
4. Windows Vista is a client side operating system! Server for NFS is only offered for use with Windows Server systems.
5. Back to square one!
So there you have it. They all lived happy for the rest of their lives...
I'm stuck here. Can someone tell me what to do? I mean beyond the obvious option to use Linux to fixa a Windows problem? The NTFS file system itself supports colons in file names. It's Windows that doesn't, and so by default it proclaims it invalid character.
Surely, even a Windows client operating system like Windows Vista should be able to allow the user to at least rename files with invalid characters to something more sensible (from the system point of view) and valid, if not being able to open them as they
are. Just add some crazy voodoo code to it and it will work. If you can make it possible on Windows Server with UNIX user-mode subsystem on NT kernel, then what's stopping you from giving the Windows client system the same benefit?
So what now? Purchase a Windows Server 2012 R2 license, copy my invalid files to a NAS share with NFS on a UNIX or Linux system, and have a go at the Windows registry and Server for NFS? Yeah... you're right, it's probably a bit over the top...
On a second thought... I might as well install Linux again. There are countless situations where Linux has helped me solve problems related to, and more often than not caused by Windows.

3. SUA are service components only. No server components. Can you guess what that means? Yeah... no "Server for NFS" since it's a server component.
4. Windows Vista is a client side operating system! Server for NFS is only offered for use with Windows Server systems.
5. Back to square one!
So there you have it. They all lived happy for the rest of their lives...
I'm stuck here. Can someone tell me what to do? I mean beyond the obvious option to use Linux to fixa a Windows problem? The NTFS file system itself supports colons in file names. It's Windows that doesn't, and so by default it proclaims it invalid character.
Surely, even a Windows client operating system like Windows Vista should be able to allow the user to at least rename files with invalid characters to something more sensible (from the system point of view) and valid, if not being able to open them as they
are. Just add some crazy voodoo code to it and it will work. If you can make it possible on Windows Server with UNIX user-mode subsystem on NT kernel, then what's stopping you from giving the Windows client system the same benefit?
So what now? Purchase a Windows Server 2012 R2 license, copy my invalid files to a NAS share with NFS on a UNIX or Linux system, and have a go at the Windows registry and Server for NFS? Yeah... you're right, it's probably a bit over the top...
On a second thought... I might as well install Linux again. There are countless situations where Linux has helped me solve problems related to, and more often than not caused by Windows.

How integrate azure media services with blob storage?

I need to upload lots of content over blob storage which contains different types of files.
Now my problem is that files contains lots of videos also.
I want to way by which i can integrate azure media services with blob storage so that i can stream that video.
So probably i don't want to upload my videos on azure media services storage because i want all my content to be at one place which is blob storage.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks,

Hi Rajesh
Every Media Services account needs a blob storage account associated with it. You can choose an existing blob storage account for that purpose. In order for Media Services to work with your videos you need to create an asset using the Media Services APIs.
That call results in the creation of a container which has the name in the following format asset-<AssetId>. The actual video files need to go as blobs within this container but these files need to be known to Media Services and you can do so by adding
AssetFiles to the asset using the Media Services APIs. Once you do that the asset is well known to Media Services and you can stream it.

Sharepoint 2010 - how to move content database when RBS (remote blob storage) is enabled

Good day.
I have two Sharepoint Server 2010 instances - test and production.
i've turned on RBS(remote blob storage) on test. In future i want to copy content database from prod to test. What should i do, if RBS is not enabled on production?
And second question. After RBS is on, all new files moves to external storage. I want to move to ext storage files, that already exists in my content DB. I found that i need to create second filestreamprovider
and execute Migrate() for new provider. Can i do this for first provider without creating second?

Why dont you plan to use Site backup then instead of database backup
In your case you will have to restore the backup to a RBS enabled SQL server. Then remove RBS from that database.
