The error "pty allocation request failed on channel 0" usually occurs when trying to establish an SSH connection with a server that doesn't support interactive sessions. Since you're using SFTP with Azure Blob Storage, you should use an SFTP client to transfer files instead of the SSH command.

Install an SFTP client if you haven't already.

Use the following command to connect to your Azure Blob Storage account:

sftp -i <private_key> <username>@<sftp_endpoint>

Once connected, you can use SFTP commands like put, get, ls, and cd to transfer files and navigate your Azure Blob Storage account.

When you add a user you have the option to use password, keypair, or both. Instructions for setting this up can be found in the Configure permissions section here.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you are still having issues or need anything else.

Sorry. This doesn't help

I am running a powershell script on a server ((say server A). from this server I want to copy a file that is residing in a remote server (maven or any local server i,e URL) to my azure blob storage.

Currently achieving this by downloading the file from the remote server to server 'A' using wget and then I upload the file to my azure blob storage . it is a two step process. instead I want to upload the file directly to azure blob storage from the remote servers with the help of the script running on the server "A".

Let me know the ways to achieve this

@Mulagiripattu Rangarajan Sundar Rajan
Apologies, since you were talking about an SFTP enabled blob storage account I assumed you were using sftp method for this. The AzCopy method you have provided should be an option for you. What happens when you try to use this method? Please provide me more details on the error you are receiving and will do my best to provide a working solution.
