Azure File Service: Upload File

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Sample code to upload a 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 writes a range 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 file small enough for a single "Put Range" call.
