Running a moveit task that runs a bash script which utilizes the Azure AzCopy utility

Question

I have tried running a bash script, batch file and a script file,which utilizes the azcopy utility. The azcopy command copies files from a remote location to an azure blob storage.

AZCOPY /Source:$Source /Dest:$Destination /DestKey:$DestKey /Pattern:*.txt

It runs okay when i manually run the script. When i create a moveit task and run it, I receive a task completed successful.However, no files have been copied to the blob storage. I have tried running the powershell command as well, C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.EXE -NoLogo -NoProfile –ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command c:\temp\GL_Format_Update.ps1. As mentioned in a stack overflow question.

I'm not sure how you're infrastructure looks like, but i'd recommend using Azure File Sync. You won't have to use AZCopy nor MoveIT. You should read about it here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-the-public-preview-for-azure-file-sync/

Azure files would also be a good alternative by attaching a file share, allowing to save files from local access to the cloud.
