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. Swift

    var success: Bool = false

    // Azure File Service Example: Upload a file.  
    // See:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/create-share
    // also see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/put-range

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    let rest = CkoRest()!

    // Connect to the Azure Storage Blob Service
    var bTls: Bool = true
    var port: Int = 443
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = true
    // In this example, the storage account name is "chilkat".
    success = rest.connect(hostname: "chilkat.file.core.windows.net", port: port, tls: bTls, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)
    if success != true {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // This example will upload a relatively small file (760K), so it may as well 
    // just be load it into memory..
    let jpgData = CkoBinData()!
    jpgData.loadFile(path: "qa_data/jpg/penguins.jpg")

    // Provide Azure Cloud credentials for the REST calls.

    // Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
    // headers: x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
    // are automatically set by Chilkat.

    // However, a few additional headers are required for the "Create File" operation:
    rest.addHeader(name: "x-ms-type", value: "file")

    // This required header specifies the final size of the file (or the maximum size it can be).

    // Send a PUT request to create the file (or replace the file if it already exists).
    // This will initialize the file in the Azure file storage.  To upload content, we'll need
    // to do the "Put Range" operation one or more times.

    // The following will create the file "penguins.jpg" in the share "pip", in the directory "/wildlife/antarctic"

    // When successful, the Azure File Service will respond with a 201 (Created) response status code,
    // with no XML response body.  If an error response is returned, there will be an XML response body.

        // Examine the request/response to see what happened.

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    // The only tricky part here is to correctly add the x-ms-range header.
    // It will be formatted like this:
