Azure File Service: Upload Large File

Sample code to upload a large file to a directory in a share in the Azure File Service. A file is uploaded by first creating the file in the Azure share and then writing ranges of bytes to the file. Azure imposes a 4MB limit for each PUT to write a range. Files larger than 4MB need to be uploaded by making multiple "Put Range" calls. This example uploads a large file requiring multiple "Put Range" calls.
