With WinSCP you can easily upload and manage files on your Microsoft Azure instance/service over SFTP protocol or FTPS protocol.

• Connecting to an App Service (Web Site) with FTPS

Before starting you should have WinSCP installed.

First, collect information about your virtual machine instance, on the Azure portal:

• Host name:
  • Use IP address you find in the Public IP address section on your virtual machine instance page;
  • Or setup a DNS name for the virtual machine by clicking on the Configure link in DNS name section. A Configuration panel opens. There, in the DNS name label, enter a sub domain for your virtual machine. Click Save button. A full hostname now appears in the DNS name section in a format subdomain.location.cloudapp.azure.com.
• Username: Use the username, that you created, when creating the virtual machine.
• Host key fingerprint: On the first connect you will be prompted to verify server host key.
  To securely acquire a fingerprint of the host key:
  • On your virtual machine instance page, use Run command function. You will find it in the virtual machine menu, in Operations group.
  • Select 'RunShellScript' command.
  • Paste the following command:
  • You will get an output like: The set of key types will vary with your virtual machine image.
• When creating new virtual machine, prefer setting up public key authentication by pasting your public key to SSH public key box in the Basics step in the Administrator account section. If you want to setup public key authentication later, you have to set it up manually.

To connect to a virtual machine instance with SFTP, start WinSCP. Login dialog will appear. On the dialog:

• Make sure New site node is selected.
• On the New site node, make sure SFTP protocol is selected.
• Enter Host name.
• Enter User name.
• Enter a password for the username. Or specify a private key, if you set up a public key authentication.
• Save your site settings using the Save button.
• Login using the Login button.
• Verify the host key by comparing fingerprints with those collected before (see above).

First you need to install a FTPS server on the virtual machine.

To connect to the virtual machine with FTPS, start WinSCP. Login dialog will appear. On the dialog:

• Make sure New site node is selected.
• On the New site node, select FTP protocol and TLS/SSL Explicit encryption.
• In Host name box enter an address of your virtual machine:
  • Use IP address you find in the Public IP address section on your virtual machine instance page on the Azure portal.
  • Or setup a DNS name for the virtual machine by clicking on the Configure link in DNS name section. A Configuration panel opens. There, in the DNS name label, enter a sub domain for your virtual machine. Click Save button. A full hostname now appears in the DNS name section in a format subdomain.location.cloudapp.azure.com.
• Enter username and password of an account you want to connect with. Use the account you have specified when creating the instance or any other account you have created on the instance.
• Save your site settings using the Save button.
• Login using the Login button.
• If you are using self-signed certificate, you will be prompted to accept it.

First, collect information about your app service (previously web site), on the Azure portal:

• Host name: Copy host name from FTPS hostname section on the Overview page.
• User Name: Copy username from the FTP/deployment username section on the Overview page. If you did not set up an FTP account yet, goto Deployment Center page and select FTP in Manual Deployment section and switch to User Credentials tab. User name has a form nameuser. You need to use both parts when authenticating.

To connect to the web site with FTPS, start WinSCP. Login dialog will appear. On the dialog:

• Make sure New site node is selected.
• On the New site node, select FTP protocol and TLS/SSL Explicit encryption.
• In Host name box paste a host name of your instance in format waws-prod-xxx-xxx.ftp.azurewebsites.windows.net. You can also paste a complete URL to select protocol, encryption and insert host name at once.
• Enter the User name and the Password.
• Save your site settings using the Save button.
• Login using the Login button.
• Web site TLS/SSL certificate is signed by a trusted authority, so you won't be prompted to verify it.

This article outlines how to copy data from FTP server. To learn about Azure Data Factory, read the introductory article.

Supported capabilities

This FTP connector is supported for the following activities:

• Copy activity with supported source/sink matrix

Specifically, this FTP connector supports:

• Copying files using Basic or Anonymous authentication.
• Copying files as-is or parsing files with the supported file formats and compression codecs.

The FTP connector support FTP server running in passive mode. Active mode is not supported.

Prerequisites

If your data store is located inside an on-premises network, an Azure virtual network, or Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, you need to configure a self-hosted integration runtime to connect to it.

Alternatively, if your data store is a managed cloud data service, you can use Azure integration runtime. If the access is restricted to IPs that are approved in the firewall rules, you can add Azure Integration Runtime IPs into the allow list.

Touch in public music video. For more information about the network security mechanisms and options supported by Data Factory, see Data access strategies.

Get started

To perform the Copy activity with a pipeline, you can use one of the following tools or SDKs:

The following sections provide details about properties that are used to define Data Factory entities specific to FTP.

Linked service properties

Ftp To Azure Cloud Services

The following properties are supported for FTP linked service:

Note

The FTP connector supports accessing FTP server with either no encryption or explicit SSL/TLS encryption; it doesn't support implicit SSL/TLS encryption.

Example 1: using Anonymous authentication

Example 2: using Basic authentication

Dataset properties

For a full list of sections and properties available for defining datasets, see the Datasets article.

Azure Data Factory supports the following file formats. Refer to each article for format-based settings.

The following properties are supported for FTP under location settings in format-based dataset:

Example:

Copy activity properties

For a full list of sections and properties available for defining activities, see the Pipelines article. This section provides a list of properties supported by FTP source.

FTP as source

Azure Data Factory supports the following file formats. Refer to each article for format-based settings.

The following properties are supported for FTP under storeSettings settings in format-based copy source:

When copying data form FTP, currently ADF tries to get the file length first, then divide the file into multiple parts and read them in parallel. If your FTP server doesn't support getting file length or seeking to read from a certain offset, you may encounter failure.

Example:

Folder and file filter examples

This section describes the resulting behavior of the folder path and file name with wildcard filters.

File list examples

This section describes the resulting behavior of using file list path in copy activity source.

Assuming you have the following source folder structure and want to copy the files in bold:

Lookup activity properties

To learn details about the properties, check Lookup activity.

GetMetadata activity properties

To learn details about the properties, check GetMetadata activity

Delete activity properties

To learn details about the properties, check Delete activity

Legacy models

Note

The following models are still supported as-is for backward compatibility. You are suggested to use the new model mentioned in above sections going forward, and the ADF authoring UI has switched to generating the new model.

Legacy dataset model

Ftp To Azure Cloud Service Providers

Tip

To copy all files under a folder, specify folderPath only.
To copy a single file with a given name, specify folderPath with folder part and fileName with file name.
To copy a subset of files under a folder, specify folderPath with folder part and fileName with wildcard filter.

Note

If you were using 'fileFilter' property for file filter, it is still supported as-is, while you are suggested to use the new filter capability added to 'fileName' going forward.
