The AzureFile class provides an easy to use interface to Microsoft's Azure File Storage service.

Syntax

class cloudstorage.AzureFile

Remarks

The AzureFile class offers an easy-to-use API for the Microsoft Azure File Storage service. Capabilities include uploading and downloading files, strong encryption support, creating folders, file manipulation, and more.

Authentication

Authentication is simple, set the account property to the name of the Azure Storage account to operate against, and set the access_key property to an Azure access key associated with that account.

Addressing Resources

Azure File Storage accounts can contain one or more file shares. Use the list_shares method to list available shares, and select which one the class should operate against using the share property.

After selecting a share, address the files and folders within it using Linux-style absolute paths. Unless otherwise specified, the class always works in terms of absolute paths, and will always prepend a forward slash (/) to any path passed to it that does not already start with one.

Listing Directory Contents

list_resources lists resources (files and folders) within the specified directory. Calling this method will fire the on_resource_list event once for each resource, and will also populate the resources properties. // ResourceList event handler. azurefile.OnResourceList += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine(e.Name); }; azurefile.Share = "myshare"; do { azurefile.ListResources("/work_files/serious_business/cats"); for (int i = 0; i < azurefile.Resources.Count; i++) { // Process resources here. } } while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(azurefile.ResourceMarker));

Downloading Files

The download_file method downloads files.

If local_file is set, the file will be saved to the specified location; otherwise, the file data will be held by resource_data.

To download and decrypt an encrypted file, set encryption_algorithm and encryption_password before calling this method.

Download Notes

In the simplest use-case, downloading a file looks like this: azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Downloads

The class also supports resuming failed downloads by using the start_byte property. If a download is interrupted, set start_byte to the appropriate offset before calling this method to resume the download. string downloadFile = "../MyFile.zip"; azurefile.LocalFile = downloadFile; azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path); //The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially downloaded file azurefile.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length; azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Encrypted File Downloads

Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when local_file was set in the initial download attempt.

If local_file is set when beginning an encrypted download, the class creates a temporary file in TempPath to hold the encrypted data until the download is complete. If the download is interrupted, DownloadTempFile will be populated with the path of the temporary file that holds the partial data.

To resume, DownloadTempFile must be populated, along with start_byte, to allow the remainder of the encrypted data to be downloaded. Once the encrypted data is downloaded it will be decrypted and written to local_file. azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; azurefile.EncryptionPassword = "password"; azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path); //The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially download temp file azurefile.StartByte = new FileInfo(azurefile.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length; azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);

Uploading Files

The upload_file method uploads new files.

If local_file is set the file will be uploaded from the specified path. If local_file is not set the data in resource_data will be used.

To encrypt the file before uploading it, set encryption_algorithm and encryption_password.

Upload Notes

The upload_file method is a convenience method that performs a resumable file upload. When called, the class first uses create_file to initialize a new file entry on the server; and then it fragments the file data into smaller pieces and calls put_range multiple times in succession to upload those fragments. The fragment size is fixed at 4MB (this is a server limitation that cannot be changed).

During the upload, the on_fragment_complete event fires after each fragment is uploaded to indicate overall progress. The class also updates start_byte as necessary to indicate the current offset in the file.

If the upload is interrupted for any reason, resuming it is easy. First, verify that start_byte is populated (if the same instance of the class is used, they should already be populated, and no special action should be needed). Then call upload_file again to resume the upload at the specified start_byte offset. azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip"); //The transfer is interrupted and UploadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download. //Using the same instance StartByte is already populated from the previous upload attempt. azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");

Additional Functionality

The AzureFile class offers advanced functionality beyond simple uploads and downloads. For instance:

• Encrypt and decrypt files using the encryption_algorithm and encryption_password properties.
• Basic file and folder manipulation and organization using methods such as create_folder, copy_file, delete_folder, and delete_file.
• Advanced file manipulation with create_file, resize_file, put_range, get_ranges, and clear_range.
• Share manipulation with create_share, set_share_quota, and delete_share.
• Retrieval of information and metadata for files, folders, and shares using get_file_info, get_folder_info, and get_share_info.
• And more!

access_key Property

The Azure access key to use for authentication.

Syntax

def get_access_key() -> str: ...
def set_access_key(value: str) -> None: ...

access_key = property(get_access_key, set_access_key)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the Azure access key that should be used for authentication. It must be set before attempting any operations which connect to the server.

Both primary and secondary access keys are valid.

account Property

The Azure storage account name.

Syntax

def get_account() -> str: ...
def set_account(value: str) -> None: ...

account = property(get_account, set_account)

Remarks

This property specifies the name of the Azure storage account to operate against. It must be set before attempting any operations which connect to the server.

authorization Property

OAuth 2.0 Authorization Token.

Syntax

def get_authorization() -> str: ...
def set_authorization(value: str) -> None: ...

authorization = property(get_authorization, set_authorization)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This class supports authentication via OAuth 2.0. First, perform OAuth authentication using the o_auth property, using the OAuth class or a separate process. If using the o_auth property, then the authorization property will not be used.

Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN

TBD.

encryption_algorithm Property

The encryption algorithm.

Syntax

def get_encryption_algorithm() -> int: ...
def set_encryption_algorithm(value: int) -> None: ...

encryption_algorithm = property(get_encryption_algorithm, set_encryption_algorithm)

Default Value

0

Remarks

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the class is connected, the local_host property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Note: local_host is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

This functionality currently is not available when the provider is OpenSSL.

This property is read-only.

ssl_server_cert_version Property

The certificate's version number.

Syntax

def get_ssl_server_cert_version() -> str: ...

ssl_server_cert_version = property(get_ssl_server_cert_version, None)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The certificate's version number. The possible values are the strings "V1", "V2", and "V3".

This property is read-only.

ssl_server_cert_subject Property

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Syntax

def get_ssl_server_cert_subject() -> str: ...

ssl_server_cert_subject = property(get_ssl_server_cert_subject, None)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

This property is read-only.

ssl_server_cert_encoded Property

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

def get_ssl_server_cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...

ssl_server_cert_encoded = property(get_ssl_server_cert_encoded, None)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The ssl_server_cert_store and ssl_server_cert_subject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When ssl_server_cert_encoded is set, a search is initiated in the current ssl_server_cert_store for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, ssl_server_cert_subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, ssl_server_cert_subject is set to an empty string.

This property is read-only.

start_byte Property

The byte offset from which to start the upload or download.

Syntax

def get_start_byte() -> int: ...
def set_start_byte(value: int) -> None: ...

start_byte = property(get_start_byte, set_start_byte)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property may be set to resume an upload or download; it specifies the offset in the file from which to resume. See upload_file and download_file for details about resuming uploads and downloads.

timeout Property

The timeout for the class.

Syntax

def get_timeout() -> int: ...
def set_timeout(value: int) -> None: ...

timeout = property(get_timeout, set_timeout)

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If timeout is set to a positive value, the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The class will use do_events to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not freeze and remains responsive.

If timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class fails with an error.

Note: By default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, that is, the timeout period is extended by timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the timeout property is 60 seconds.

use_ssl Property

Whether to use SSL/TLS when connecting.

Syntax

def get_use_ssl() -> bool: ...
def set_use_ssl(value: bool) -> None: ...

use_ssl = property(get_use_ssl, set_use_ssl)

Default Value

TRUE

Remarks

This property specifies whether the class should use SSL/TLS when connecting.

abort_copy Method

Aborts a copy operation.

Syntax

def abort_copy(dest_file_path: str, copy_id: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method aborts the copy operation identified by the given CopyId for the destination file at DestFilePath in the share currently selected by share.

Note that the destination file will still exist after aborting a copy operation, but it will be empty.

add_metadata Method

Adds a metadata item to the Metadata properties.

Syntax

def add_metadata(name: str, value: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method adds a metadata item to the metadata properties. Name specifies the name of the item, and Value specifies the value of the item.

Note that the class will automatically prepend x-ms-meta- to metadata item names (as necessary) when they are submitted to the server. Also note that while metadata item names are case-preserving, they are not case-sensitive.

add_query_param Method

Adds a query parameter to the QueryParams properties.

Syntax

def add_query_param(name: str, value: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method is used to add a query parameter to the query_params properties. Name specifies the name of the parameter, and Value specifies the value of the parameter.

All specified Values will be URL encoded by the class automatically. Consult the service documentation for details on the available parameters.

authorize Method

Get the authorization string required to access the protected resource.

Syntax

def authorize() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method is used to get an access token that is required to access the protected resource. The method will act differently based on what is set in the o_auth_client_profile property and the o_auth_grant_type property. This method is not to be used in conjunction with the authorization property. It should instead be used when setting the o_auth property.

For more information, see the introduction section.

clear_range Method

Clears a range of bytes from a file.

Syntax

def clear_range(file_path: str, first: int, last: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method clears the range of bytes from First to Last (inclusive) from the file at FilePath in the share currently selected by share.

The server tracks ranges of file data in 512-byte chunks, aligned to the absolute beginning of the file. When this method is called, the server frees any such chunks that are completely covered by the specified range of bytes ([First]-[Last]), and writes 0s to the appropriate portions of any chunks which are not completely covered by that range.

Freed chunks are not included in the results returned by get_ranges.

config Method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

copy_file Method

Copies a file.

Syntax

def copy_file(from_file_path: str, to_file_path: str, to_share: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method copies the file at FromFilePath (in the share currently selected by share) to the path ToFilePath in the share ToShare. If this method finishes successfully, it will either return an asynchronous copy operation Id, or an empty string (if the copy has finished already).

If ToShare is empty, the current value of share will be used instead. If ToShare is non-empty, the value will automatically be lowercased when preparing the request.

Any parent folders included in ToFilePath must already exist.

If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.

As long as the server doesn't return an error, this method will always populate the CopyId and CopyStatus configuration settings (and clear CopyProgress and CopyStatusDesc).

Asynchronous Copy Notes

As mentioned, this method will return a copy operation Id if the copy operation was started asynchronously. In this case, use the get_file_info method to poll the destination file's information, which will cause the CopyStatus, CopyStatusDesc, and CopyProgress configuration settings to be refreshed.

A copy operation whose CopyStatus is still pending may also be aborted by passing the copy operation Id returned by this method (or later retrieved from CopyId) to the abort_copy method. // Copy a file to another location within the same share. string copyResult = azurefile.CopyFile("/folder1/important.zip", "/folder2/secrets.zip", ""); // If the returned value *isn't* empty string, then we'll monitor the status of the // asynchronous copy operation by polling once every 2 seconds using GetFileInfo(). if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(copyResult)) { do { azurefile.GetFileInfo("/folder2/secrets.zip"); Console.WriteLine("Copy progress: " + azurefile.Config("CopyProgress")); } while (azurefile.Config("CopyStatus") == "pending"); }

create_file Method

Initializes a new file.

Syntax

def create_file(new_file_path: str, file_length: int) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method initializes a new file with a given FileLength (in bytes) at the specified NewFilePath in the share currently selected by share. The path of the newly-initialized file is returned.

Any parent folders included in NewFilePath must already exist.

If the SendMetadata configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the metadata properties will be sent along with the creation request.

Note: This method is typically only useful for advanced use-cases. To upload a file, just call upload_file.

Usage Notes

This method does not upload or otherwise allocate any data, it just creates the file entry and "reserves" storage space for it. After a file has been created with this method, the following methods can be used to manipulate its data:

• The put_range method can be used to upload ranges of data (up to 4MB at once) to the file.
• The clear_range method can be used to clear an arbitrary range of data from the file, allowing the server to release the associated storage resources.
• The get_ranges method can be used to obtain a list of all data ranges present in the file.

create_folder Method

Creates a new folder.

Syntax

def create_folder(new_folder_path: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method creates a new folder at the specified NewFolderPath in the share currently selected by share. The path of the newly-created folder is returned.

Any parent folders included in NewFolderPath must already exist.

If the SendMetadata configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the metadata properties will be sent along with the creation request.

create_share Method

Creates a new share.

Syntax

def create_share() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method creates a new share using the name specified by the share property.

If the CreateShareQuota configuration setting is a positive, non-zero integer when this method is called, the share will be created with a space quota of that many GB. A share's space quota may be changed at any time using the set_share_quota method.

If the SendMetadata configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the metadata properties will be sent along with the creation request.

Share Name Rules

Share names must adhere to the following rules:

• Must be 3 to 63 characters long.
• Must start with a letter or number; and may only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens.
• All letters much be lowercase. (For convenience, the class will automatically lowercase all letters in any value assigned to share.)
• All hyphens must be immediately preceded and followed by a letter or number (consecutive hyphens are not allowed).

delete_file Method

Deletes a file.

Syntax

def delete_file(file_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method deletes the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by share.

delete_folder Method

Deletes a folder.

Syntax

def delete_folder(folder_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method deletes the folder at the specified FolderPath in the share currently selected by share.

Only empty folders may be deleted; non-empty folders must be emptied first.

delete_share Method

Deletes a share.

Syntax

def delete_share() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method deletes the share currently selected by the share property.

If the currently selected share has any snapshots associated with it, and the DeleteShareSnapshots configuration setting is disabled (default) when this method is called, the server will return an error. Shares with snapshots can only be deleted after enabling DeleteShareSnapshots.

Note that, according to the Azure File Storage documentation, a share's name cannot be reused until at least 30 seconds after its deletion.

download_file Method

Downloads a file.

Syntax

def download_file(file_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method downloads the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by share.

If local_file is set, the file will be saved to the specified location; otherwise, the file data will be held by resource_data.

To download and decrypt an encrypted file, set encryption_algorithm and encryption_password before calling this method.

Download Notes

In the simplest use-case, downloading a file looks like this: azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Downloads

The class also supports resuming failed downloads by using the start_byte property. If a download is interrupted, set start_byte to the appropriate offset before calling this method to resume the download. string downloadFile = "../MyFile.zip"; azurefile.LocalFile = downloadFile; azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path); //The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially downloaded file azurefile.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length; azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Encrypted File Downloads

Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when local_file was set in the initial download attempt.

If local_file is set when beginning an encrypted download, the class creates a temporary file in TempPath to hold the encrypted data until the download is complete. If the download is interrupted, DownloadTempFile will be populated with the path of the temporary file that holds the partial data.

To resume, DownloadTempFile must be populated, along with start_byte, to allow the remainder of the encrypted data to be downloaded. Once the encrypted data is downloaded it will be decrypted and written to local_file. azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; azurefile.EncryptionPassword = "password"; azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path); //The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially download temp file azurefile.StartByte = new FileInfo(azurefile.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length; azurefile.DownloadFile(azurefile.Resources[0].Path);

get_file_info Method

Gets a file's information and metadata.

Syntax

def get_file_info(file_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method gets information and metadata for the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by share.

Calling this method will fire the on_resource_list event, will re-populate the resources properties with a single item, and will re-populate the metadata properties with any metadata currently associated with the file.

get_folder_info Method

Gets a folder's information and metadata.

Syntax

def get_folder_info(folder_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method gets information and metadata for the folder at the specified FolderPath in the share currently selected by share.

FolderPath can be empty string to get information about the root folder of the share.

Calling this method will fire the on_resource_list event, will re-populate the resources properties with a single item, and will re-populate the metadata properties with any metadata currently associated with the folder.

get_link Method

Creates a link that provides access to a share or file.

Syntax

def get_link(file_path: str, permissions: str, start_time: str, expiry_time: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method creates and returns a shared access signature (SAS), which is a link that provides access to a specific share or file. The following table indicates which inputs must be provided to produce a link of the desired type:

Permissions specifies what permissions the SAS grants, in the form of an abbreviated permissions list. Refer to this section of Azure's "Create a Service SAS" article for more information about how to format this value.

StartTime and ExpiryTime specify the UTC start and end times of the SAS's validity interval. Refer to this section of Azure's "Create a Service SAS" article for more information about how to format these values.

StartTime may be empty, in which case the server will assume that the link is valid immediately. Permissions and ExpiryTime must both be non-empty, unless an si query parameter that references a stored access policy (which has corresponding non-empty values) is present in the query_params properties.

If any of the query parameters listed below are present in the query_params properties when this method is called, they will be included when creating the SAS. All other application-specified query parameters are ignored.

• Response headers: rscc, rscd, rsce, rscl, rsct
• IP address (single or range): sip
• Allowed HTTP protocol(s): spr
• Stored access policy ("signed identifier"): si

For more information about SAS links, refer to Azure's Create a Service SAS article.

get_ranges Method

Gets the list of allocated data ranges in a file.

Syntax

def get_ranges(file_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method gets the list of allocated data ranges in the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by share and populates the ranges properties with the results.

The server tracks ranges of file data in 512-byte chunks, aligned to the absolute beginning of the file; thus, the size of every range returned by this method will always be a multiple of 512. Chunks that are not currently allocated (either because no data has been written to them, or because they've been freed with clear_range) will not be returned by this method.

get_share_info Method

Gets a share's information and metadata.

Syntax

def get_share_info() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method gets information and metadata for the share currently selected by the share property.

Calling this method will fire the on_share_list event, will re-populate the shares properties with a single item, and will re-populate the metadata properties with any metadata currently associated with the share.

interrupt Method

This method interrupts the current method.

Syntax

def interrupt() -> None: ...

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

list_resources Method

Lists resources in a given folder.

Syntax

def list_resources(folder_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method lists the resources in the folder at the specified FolderPath in the share currently selected by share.

Before calling this method, the prefix property may be set in order to restrict the results to only the items whose names begin with a given string. The MaxResults configuration setting may also be used to limit the number of results returned.

Calling this method will fire the on_resource_list event once for each resource, and will also populate the resources properties.

If there are still more resources available to list when this method returns, the resource_marker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until resource_marker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the resources properties. Alternatively, the AccumulatePages configuration setting can be disabled to clear the resources properties every time a page of results is returned.

Note that the server only returns the following resource properties when listing resources (use get_file_info or get_folder_info to retrieve all properties for a specific resource):

• resource_name
• resource_path (populated by the class automatically)
• resource_share (populated by the class automatically)
• resource_size
• resource_type

list_shares Method

Lists shares in the file storage account.

Syntax

def list_shares() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method lists the shares in the file storage account specified by the account property.

Before calling this method, the prefix property may be set in order to restrict the results to only the items whose names begin with a given string. The MaxResults configuration setting may also be used to limit the number of results returned.

Calling this method will fire the on_share_list event once for each share, and will also populate the shares properties.

If there are still more shares available to list when this method returns, the share_marker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until share_marker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the shares properties. Alternatively, the AccumulatePages configuration setting can be disabled to clear the shares properties every time a page of results is returned.

Note that the server does not return the shares' share_space_used property when listing shares; use get_share_info to retrieve all properties for a specific share. // ShareList event handler. azurefile.OnShareList += (s, e) => { Console.WriteLine(e.Name); }; do { azurefile.ListShares(); for (int i = 0; i < azurefile.Shares.Count; i++) { // Process shares here. } } while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(azurefile.ShareMarker));

put_range Method

Uploads a range of data to a file.

Syntax

def put_range(file_path: str, write_offset: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method uploads a range of data to the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by share. The data to upload cannot be larger than 4MB (4194304 bytes), and is written to the file at the given WriteOffset (specified in bytes).

The server tracks ranges of file data in 512-byte chunks, aligned to the absolute beginning of the file. However, neither the WriteOffset nor the length of the data to upload need be a multiple of 512. Any portions of a chunk not written to will be populated with 0s.

Note that, according to the Azure File Storage documentation, this operation requires a write lock on the entire file in order to complete successfully.

rename_file Method

Renames a file.

Syntax

def rename_file(old_file_path: str, new_file_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method moves and/or renames an existing file on the server at the specified OldFilePath in the share currently selected by share. The NewFilePath parameter indicates the new location and name of the file.

Any parent folders included in NewFilePath must already exist.

The overwrite property can optionally be enabled to overwrite the file if it already exists at the location specified by NewFilePath.

rename_folder Method

Renames a directory.

Syntax

def rename_folder(old_dir_path: str, new_dir_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method moves and/or renames an existing folder on the server at the specified OldDirPath in the share currently selected by share. The NewDirPath parameter indicates the new location and name of the folder.

Any parent folders included in NewDirPath must already exist.

reset Method

Resets the class to its initial state.

Syntax

def reset() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method resets the class to its initial state.

resize_file Method

Resizes a file.

Syntax

def resize_file(file_path: str, new_size: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method resizes the file at the specified FilePath in the share currently selected by share. NewSize, which is specified in bytes, cannot be negative.

set_share_quota Method

Sets a share's space quota.

Syntax

def set_share_quota(quota: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method sets the size, in GB, of the space quota imposed on the share currently selected by the share property. Quota must be greater than 0.

It is legal to lower a share's quota to a value less than its current space usage. However, doing so will prevent new space from being allocated until either the space usage falls below quota or the quota is raised above the space usage.

update_metadata Method

Sets the metadata for a file, folder, or share.

Syntax

def update_metadata(path: str, resource_type: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method sets the metadata for a file, folder, or share to the items currently held by the metadata properties. The ResourceType parameter indicates the kind of resource the class should prepare the request for; possible values are:

• 0: Set the metadata for the file at the specified Path in the share currently selected by share.
• 1: Set the metadata for the folder at the specified Path in the share currently selected by share.
• 2: Set the metadata for the share currently selected by share (Path is ignored).

Note that it is not possible to do a partial metadata update. That is, all metadata currently associated with the remote entity will be replaced with the metadata sent in the request.

upload_file Method

Uploads a new file resource.

Syntax

def upload_file(new_file_path: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method uploads a new file resource at the specified NewFilePath in the share currently selected by share. The path of the newly-created file is returned.

Any parent folders included in NewFilePath must already exist.

If the SendMetadata configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the metadata properties will be sent along with the creation request.

If local_file is set the file will be uploaded from the specified path. If local_file is not set the data in resource_data will be used.

To encrypt the file before uploading it, set encryption_algorithm and encryption_password.

Upload Notes

The upload_file method is a convenience method that performs a resumable file upload. When called, the class first uses create_file to initialize a new file entry on the server; and then it fragments the file data into smaller pieces and calls put_range multiple times in succession to upload those fragments. The fragment size is fixed at 4MB (this is a server limitation that cannot be changed).

During the upload, the on_fragment_complete event fires after each fragment is uploaded to indicate overall progress. The class also updates start_byte as necessary to indicate the current offset in the file.

If the upload is interrupted for any reason, resuming it is easy. First, verify that start_byte is populated (if the same instance of the class is used, they should already be populated, and no special action should be needed). Then call upload_file again to resume the upload at the specified start_byte offset. azurefile.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip"; azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip"); //The transfer is interrupted and UploadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download. //Using the same instance StartByte is already populated from the previous upload attempt. azurefile.UploadFile("MyFile.zip");

on_end_transfer Event

This event fires when a document finishes transferring.

Syntax

class AzureFileEndTransferEventParams(object):
  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_end_transfer() -> Callable[[AzureFileEndTransferEventParams], None]: ...
@on_end_transfer.setter
def on_end_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileEndTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The on_end_transfer event is fired when the document text finishes transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

on_error Event

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

class AzureFileErrorEventParams(object):
  @property
  def error_code() -> int: ...

  @property
  def description() -> str: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_error() -> Callable[[AzureFileErrorEventParams], None]: ...
@on_error.setter
def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

on_fragment_complete Event

Fires after each fragment of a resumable upload is completed.

Syntax

class AzureFileFragmentCompleteEventParams(object):
  @property
  def fragment_number() -> int: ...

  @property
  def fragment_count() -> int: ...

  @property
  def interrupt() -> bool: ...
  @interrupt.setter
  def interrupt(value) -> None: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_fragment_complete() -> Callable[[AzureFileFragmentCompleteEventParams], None]: ...
@on_fragment_complete.setter
def on_fragment_complete(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileFragmentCompleteEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

When upload_file is called, this event will fire after each fragment is uploaded, providing an indication of overall upload progress.

FragmentNumber is the number of the current fragment that has completed. This value begins at 1.

FragmentCount is the total number of fragments that will be uploaded.

Interrupt can be set to True to interrupt the upload. The upload may be resumed later.

on_header Event

Fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

class AzureFileHeaderEventParams(object):
  @property
  def field() -> str: ...

  @property
  def value() -> str: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_header() -> Callable[[AzureFileHeaderEventParams], None]: ...
@on_header.setter
def on_header(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileHeaderEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.

If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).

on_log Event

Fired once for each log message.

Syntax

class AzureFileLogEventParams(object):
  @property
  def log_level() -> int: ...

  @property
  def message() -> str: ...

  @property
  def log_type() -> str: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_log() -> Callable[[AzureFileLogEventParams], None]: ...
@on_log.setter
def on_log(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileLogEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event is fired once for each log message generated by the class. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:

• "Info"
• "RequestHeaders"
• "ResponseHeaders"
• "RequestBody"
• "ResponseBody"
• "ProxyRequest"
• "ProxyResponse"
• "FirewallRequest"
• "FirewallResponse"

on_progress Event

Fires during an upload or download to indicate transfer progress.

Syntax

class AzureFileProgressEventParams(object):
  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

  @property
  def bytes_transferred() -> int: ...

  @property
  def total_bytes() -> int: ...

  @property
  def percent_done() -> int: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_progress() -> Callable[[AzureFileProgressEventParams], None]: ...
@on_progress.setter
def on_progress(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileProgressEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event fires during an upload or download to indicate the progress of the transfer of the entire request. By default, this event will fire each time PercentDone increases by one percent; the ProgressStep configuration setting can be used to alter this behavior.

Direction indicates whether the transfer is an upload (0) or a download (1).

BytesTransferred reflects the number of bytes that have been transferred so far, or 0 if the transfer is starting (however, see note below).

TotalBytes reflects the total number of bytes that are to be transferred, or -1 if the total is unknown. This amount includes the size of everything in the request like HTTP headers.

PercentDone reflects the overall progress of the transfer, or -1 if the progress cannot be calculated.

Note: By default, the class tracks transfer progress absolutely. If a transfer is interrupted and later resumed, the values reported by this event upon and after resumption will account for the data that was transferred before the interruption.

For example, if 10MB of data was successfully transferred before the interruption, then this event will fire with a BytesTransferred value of 10485760 (10MB) when the transfer is first resumed, and then continue to fire with successively greater values as usual.

This behavior can be changed by disabling the ProgressAbsolute configuration setting, in which case the class will treat resumed transfers as "new" transfers. In this case, the BytesTransferred parameter will always be 0 the first time this event fires, regardless of whether the transfer is new or being resumed.

on_resource_list Event

Fires once for each resource returned when listing resources.

Syntax

class AzureFileResourceListEventParams(object):
  @property
  def name() -> str: ...

  @property
  def path() -> str: ...

  @property
  def share() -> str: ...

  @property
  def resource_type() -> int: ...

  @property
  def modified_time() -> str: ...

  @property
  def size() -> int: ...

  @property
  def e_tag() -> str: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_resource_list() -> Callable[[AzureFileResourceListEventParams], None]: ...
@on_resource_list.setter
def on_resource_list(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileResourceListEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event fires once for each resource returned when list_resources, get_file_info, or get_folder_info is called.

Name is the name of the resource.

Path is the full path of the resource (not including the share).

Share is the name of the share the resource resides in.

ResourceType reflects the resource's type. Possible values are:

ModifiedTime is the last modified time of the resource, formatted according to RFC 1123. (Note: this parameter is not populated by calls to list_resources.)

Size is the size of the file. Always 0 for folders.

ETag is the ETag of the resource. (Note: this parameter is not populated by calls to list_resources.)

on_share_list Event

Fires once for each share returned when listing shares.

Syntax

class AzureFileShareListEventParams(object):
  @property
  def name() -> str: ...

  @property
  def modified_time() -> str: ...

  @property
  def e_tag() -> str: ...

  @property
  def quota() -> int: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_share_list() -> Callable[[AzureFileShareListEventParams], None]: ...
@on_share_list.setter
def on_share_list(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileShareListEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event fires once for each share returned when list_shares or get_share_info is called.

Name is the name of the share.

ModifiedTime is the last modified time of the share, formatted according to RFC 1123.

ETag is the ETag of the share.

Quota is the share's space quota, in GB.

on_ssl_server_authentication Event

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

class AzureFileSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams(object):
  @property
  def cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...

  @property
  def cert_subject() -> str: ...

  @property
  def cert_issuer() -> str: ...

  @property
  def status() -> str: ...

  @property
  def accept() -> bool: ...
  @accept.setter
  def accept(value) -> None: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_ssl_server_authentication() -> Callable[[AzureFileSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]: ...
@on_ssl_server_authentication.setter
def on_ssl_server_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

on_ssl_status Event

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

class AzureFileSSLStatusEventParams(object):
  @property
  def message() -> str: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_ssl_status() -> Callable[[AzureFileSSLStatusEventParams], None]: ...
@on_ssl_status.setter
def on_ssl_status(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileSSLStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

on_start_transfer Event

This event fires when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

class AzureFileStartTransferEventParams(object):
  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_start_transfer() -> Callable[[AzureFileStartTransferEventParams], None]: ...
@on_start_transfer.setter
def on_start_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileStartTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The on_start_transfer event is fired when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

on_transfer Event

Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

class AzureFileTransferEventParams(object):
  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

  @property
  def bytes_transferred() -> int: ...

  @property
  def percent_done() -> int: ...

  @property
  def text() -> bytes: ...

# In class AzureFile:
@property
def on_transfer() -> Callable[[AzureFileTransferEventParams], None]: ...
@on_transfer.setter
def on_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[AzureFileTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
