In most of our tutorials, we've been mapping network storage objects to a user's virtual path. We can map it to a user's virtual path or to a group's virtual path. Now that we have our network storage object ready, the next step is to map this network storage with a virtual path. If all goes well, you should see a message saying the 'Network Storage test passed'.Īnd once you click the OK button in the parameters dialog, you'll be brought back to the main screen, where you should see your newly created Azure Blob network storage object. Let's click that Test Server button again. To do that, just scroll back up and tick the Use SSL check box. That usually means that we need to configure this network storage object to use SSL/TLS. So, for example, I'm getting a message that says 'The account being accessed does not support HTTP'. If there's a problem, you'll get a message box describing it. We can then click the Test Server button to test our connection. In our case, if you recall, we have a folder named 'folder1' inside the Azure Blob named 'jcpv-test'. You'll also need to enter the remote directory on your Azure Blob Storage. Next, enter your Azure storage account name as well as its corresponding access key. In my case, I'll just enter ns-azure blob. This will be used to identify this network storage on this JSCAPE MFT Server instance. We now need to enter the parameters for this network storage object. Next, select Microsoft Azure Blob Service and then click OK. Click Add to add a new network storage object. With our SFTP service ready, we now proceed to our Network Storage module. We need that service because that's what our trading partners will be using to upload files to us. Notice that, in my Services module, I already have an SFTP service running. Let's now head over to our JSCAPE MFT Server instance and login to the JSCAPE MFT Server manager. That's where I'm going to store all the SFTP file uploads.

So, I have an Azure blob named 'jcpv-test' and, inside it, a folder named 'folder1'. From your trading partners' point of view, that virtual path will appear just like a regular folder when, in fact, it actually maps to the Azure Blob Storage folder.īefore we head to our JSCAPE MFT Server manager, let me first show you what I have on Azure Blob Storage. First we'll need to set up a network storage object for that Azure Blob Storage folder and a virtual path that maps to that network storage.
