SFTP Support in Azure Blob Storage

Azure Storage now has support for accessing the blob service using the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). At the time of publishing this is in preview, but this has been a long time coming, as providing SFTP access previously required a custom solution, typically bringing some complexity and management overhead.

Join me in this clip as I go from zero, to having a storage account provisioned with the SFTP connectivity enabled, and we'll test connectivity using both a username and password, as well as an SSH key.
