Hi there,

I'm trying to upload a couple of 7z files ( zip files ).

During the upload I get error of time out.

I'm using this method:

AzCopy.exe K:\Cloud\file.7z http://mycontainer.blob.core.windows.net/myblob /destkey:xxx

Cloud= folder that has the zip files

file.7z= example of a zip file inside of the folder cloud.

Regards

Hi,

it may related to file size or number of files.
and you could also try re-startable mode

Blob Transfer Utility for Windows Azure Blob Storage is a good alternative for uploading large blobs.

 

This tool breaks the blobs (if blob is greater than 1MB) into chunks before uploading. This tool also has a treading option which you can use to alter the rate of blob transfer.

Hello,

It's 9 files compressed, the files have 2KB the smaller and 4GB the biggest.

I already set the option re startable but i get the time out.

The idea is to have a Windows Task and that task will execute a batch file that compress all fileserver in separated zip files, then one by one we will send to the blob.

I've no problem with the batch only with the upload, and I prefer to zip the files instead of upload all files of the fileserver, because it seems that Storage Accounts is paid by transaction, so in this case I only upload 9 files instead of 4000 or more.

You can always write code to upload blobs. With the help of .NET storage client SDK, it is a simple job. Refer to http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/blob-storage/ for a tutorial. In addition, you're charged $0.01 per 100,000 transactions. So 9 transactions and 4000 transactions really do not make a big difference. What's more, any block blob larger than 64 MB has to be divided to smaller blocks, and upload the blocks in different requests (transactions). So uploading a huge file may actually require the same amount of transactions as uploading multiple smaller files.

Hi there,

Thank you all for the replys, but after a research I found a solution.

Regards.

So what was the solution?
