I need to create some set of folders in a client machine or in some network machine. The idea is user will upload some files to the server instaed of storing that files in our server we plan to save that files in the client sepefied machine. That machine will also been in the network only and also in the same domain. Can any one guide me how to create a folder and also upload the files to that network machine??
Thanks in advance
For silverlight you can use Isolated storage as you don't have access to the users complete hard drive, you can use it like such
var myStore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
myStore.CreateDirectory("theFolder")
No, I don't want to store in Isolated Storage. The Idea is Once the User uploads the document instead on storing the doc in our server we need to save the doc in some other server.

I have used blob storage as a file storage account in .NET Core Web application hosted on Azure app service(PaaS).
My requirement is to create .zip files and then attach to email where it requires UNC path for attachment.
Here I have one option to use app service local storage for temporary file creation and use in attachment.
I am searching other option to map blob storage to any virtual drive in cloud and get its UNC path or any other option?
Also, Can you please suggest what are the possible options to map Azure Blob storage drive in network? I know the following one - App service local storage, VM, Local machine network drive.
First of all, you need to know the concept of UNC path, and then azure webapp can be regarded as a virtual machine in essence, and azure blob storage can also be regarded as a machine. Therefore, it is not feasible to send mail directly through azure blob.
Suggestion:
1. I check the information, you can try azure files to store files and use them.
I think this should be the fastest way, without using other azure products.
Download the file to the project directory, you can create a temporary folder, such as: MailTempFolder, you can download the file from the blob to this folder, and then you can get the UNC path to send mail.
After the sending is successful, just delete the file, it will not occupy too much space of the azure webapp, even if the sending fails, you can still get the zip file without downloading it again.
I am trying to create a Pool using Azure Batch . I have uploaded content to Azure Storage using File Shares.
I would like my Pool to mount this Azure File Share as virtual file system (ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/virtual-file-mount#mount-a-virtual-file-system-on-a-pool ).
I am creating AzureFileShareConfiguration object using code:
mount_configuration=batchmodels.MountConfiguration(azure_file_share_configuration=batchmodels.AzureFileShareConfiguration(
account_name="mystorage",
azure_file_url="https://mystorage.file.core.windows.net/my-share1",
account_key="mystorage/key==",
relative_mount_path="S"
)
)
Using this, I get "CMDKEY: Credentials added successfully" in fsmounts. But when I RDP to the node in the pool, the S drive appears "Disconnected".
My Azure batch package versions are:
azure-batch==8.0.0
azure-common==1.1.24
Can you please help diagnose the issue or suggest the right usage?
Thanks in Advance!
I think this is windows VM you are trying?, just by looking at the drive letter : ).
Here is the key issue with RDP permissions is different then your Batch level model when your code runs and mount.
At Batch level when you mount your Drive: and you can see it via your Start task then it is working. i.e. that a Batch level permissioning model and when you RDP into Node it will be as a "user" you are logged-in. If you want to see via UI RDP user you should re-run the command from your RDP login to update that you have key to see that drive.
Although having said that try it with /persistent:Yes as mount_options.
The best test is going to be -- You mount the drive and from your start task go to the mounted directory via : S:\\Whatever_file.txt or read the mounted file which will add the result in your stdout.txt of batch node or might be just dir it or something.
Rest extra stuff below
try with this mount_options value
Also specifically this will help for various SMB version et. al. support: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-use-files-windows and I think this you already know : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/virtual-file-mount#azure-files-share
In order to use an Azure file share outside of the Azure region it is
hosted in, such as on-premises or in a different Azure region, the OS
must support SMB 3.0.
So add this to your API and give it a try:
MountOptions = "/persistent:Yes" i.e. mount_options = "/persistent:Yes"
Also: key needs to be Storage account Key, i.e. it should not start with mystorage/key :) but it could be you hiding it, so just a mention and fyi.
Sample code:
I think SDK you have is python?
mount_configuration=batchmodels.MountConfiguration(azure_file_share_configuration=batchmodels.AzureFileShareConfiguration(
account_name="mystorage",
azure_file_url="https://mystorage.file.core.windows.net/my-share1",
account_key="mystorage/key==",
relative_mount_path="S",
mount_options = "/persistent:Yes"
)
hope this helps!
relative_mount_path: The relative path on the compute node where the file system will be mounted. All file systems are mounted relative to the Batch mounts directory, accessible via the AZ_BATCH_NODE_MOUNTS_DIR environment variable.
Azure Files is the standard Azure cloud file system offering. To learn more about how to get any of the parameters in the mount configuration code sample, see Use an Azure Files share.
I have cPanel access on two different servers and would like to transfer from one server to another. The original size of the account on the first server is close to 15GB.
Currently, the only two ways I can think of are:
Backup using cPanel then Restore on the second server. But this process times out. I get "Failed - Network error" error
Use FTP App like Filezilla to login and transfer files from that. I haven't tested this but I think it first downloads the files on my local machine (temp folder) then uploads them to the second server.
My problem with option 2 is that this means I will end up using 30GB of data transfer if it actually does that.
What is the best way to transfer from server to server using cPanel?
I have limited knowledge on this. I will suggest you some tips.
1.Backup using cPanel then Restore on the second server. But this process times out. I get "Failed - Network error" error
The backup creation is failed due to the high size of account. So that reason that way is not possible.
Use FTP App like Filezilla to login and transfer files from that. I haven't tested this but I think it first downloads the files on my local machine (temp folder) then uploads them to the second server.
You can download the whole content to your PC or download one folder by folder like first home, mail, and etc and upload to new cpanel account using ftp
Could you please open a support ticket to your hosting provider they will help you create from server backend using /script/pkgacct.
Thank you.
I have setup flow force server in my local pc and I was able to run couple of sample jobs. Then I try to setup FTP store job by providing required details. I was also able to upload specific file in to FTP server as well.
But now I need to know whether there is a possibility to upload all the files in particular folder in to target folder in FTP server. Appreciate if someone who have knowledge above flowforce server can share their thoughts about this.
I am running a file upload process to upload files to a db. The web server and the SQL server are different machines. I am attempting to use an SQL OPENROWSET to upload an excel file, but I cannot determine how to get the file onto the other machine. Is there a way to set up a shared drive that the web server can save a file to and the SQL server can access? We have a local network set up with Active Directory.
For Example:
WebServer - Shared drive on web server under C:/inetpub/webpage/fileImport
SQLServer - Will log in with sql auth using USERID and PASSWD. Needs to access webserver shared drive.
What user do I share the drive on web server with so that the sql auth user will be able to access it when I run the OPENROWSET?
Any help will be much appreciated.
I am also trying the same thing by uploading the file in FTP and trying to access it. But i didn't get any progress from last 2 weeks.
And i had found may other alternatives like coping the files in another server and share the folder with out user name & password. then we can able to access it by giving the
\\folder\filename
If u get any other alternative plz share...
You should setup a new user that has access to the user group iis_users, and then give them security access to the file drive itself.
The same should be done to the DB server, and on the drive folder security the other user will need read/write/Modify permissions.
So it will look like:
(WebHost) ---- (Shared) ---- (DBHost)
*-------*
Well, you would setup the folder on the SQLServer.
Create a secure user on the SQL machine.
Make the folder shared (with modify rights for the secure user)
Map the Network drive on the Windows machine, using the secure user to access it.
Your main user on the SQLServer should then be able to openrowset from the local folder, whilst the IIS Server is remotely accessing it.
Using the OPENROWSET means that SQL qill access files using the service account. This account must be used to access share drive, as stated here Using SQL Credential to Open a file with OpenRowSet.
