5 min readApr 10, 2023
The SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) support for Azure Data Lake storage is now generally available and this enables us to securely connect and manage the content in the Azure Storage.
Now let's see how we can enable the SFTP option in Azure Storage
- Open Azure Portal → create a resource → storage account
2. Go to the Networking Tab and check the Enable SFTP
3. Review and Create the Azure Storage Account and Open the resource once it's ready
4. Now create two containers to upload and store the files
5. Once the containers are ready lets now create a local user to access the storage account using SFTP, for that go to Settings →SFTP to add the local user or disable the SFTP
