Description

  • Latest Feb Release 1.70.
  • Upload C:\Tools, in the UI, showing C:\ and in the command copied from Storage Explore,

$env:AZCOPY_CRED_TYPE = "Anonymous";
./azcopy copy "C:*" "https://vssperfdiag.blob.core.windows.net/bootdiagnostics-vssperfvm-50b5d752-e428-49a9-a823-52d84b2025a3/?" --overwrite=false --follow-symlinks --recursive --fromTo=LocalBlob --blobType=BlockBlob --list-of-files "C:\Users\xiangwu\AppData\Local\Temp\stg-exp-azcopy-a968bac3-993e-41fb-9a40-bb2b12649bb3.json"
$env:AZCOPY_CRED_TYPE = "";

  • Real Folder C:\Tools is in the json file.
  • Content of the C:\Tool is correctly uploaded.
  • It's a misleading UI issue, similar to #930
