I am trying to use Azure Data Factory to move csv files from Azure Storage (File service) to a folder in Azure Virtual Machine (on Prem).
How do I go about creating Linked Service?
As I understand the ask here is how to access the file share on a Windows server from ADF , please do let me know if otherwise.
You can install the self hosted run time on the Windows server and that will help to the access the drives/directory of the server .
You can read about the same here :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/create-self-hosted-integration-runtime?tabs=data-factory
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-file-system?tabs=data-factory
For creating the Linked Service for Azure VM , you need to install the Self-hosted Integration Runtime on your Azure VM. This acts as a bridge between Data Factory and on-premises data stores.
In Data Factory Studio, choose a relevant on-premises data store type (for example File System if it's a simple folder).
@King Java - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
What do you mean by Azure Virtual Machine (On Prem)? Are you referring to on-premise windows server?
FYI, Azure Virtual Machines are typically hosted in the cloud.
If you are looking for a solution to connect to folder in Azure Virtual Machine which is hosted on Azure, you can Create an SMB Azure file share and connect it to a Windows VM using the Azure portal.
Once the SMB mounted you can move the files to the windows folders to Azure Files share with ease.
Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud that are accessible via the industry standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol or Network File System (NFS) protocol.
For more details, refer to Tutorial: Create an SMB Azure file share and connect it to a Windows VM using the Azure portal and Mount SMB Azure file share on Windows.
If you are looking for a solution to connect to folder in window servers which is on-premise you can use Azure Data factory to connect via file system connector using SHIR.
Azure Data Factory file system connector supported for the following capabilities:
For more details, refer to Copy data to or from a file system by using Azure Data Factory or Azure Synapse Analytics.
Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Does it cost anything to install Self-hosted Integration Runtime?
I am trying to create a Shared Folder in VM now. I am trying to configure to set it up, but I got the stop point because I was not find "Active Directory Users and Computer" in order to create a shared folder.
Reference:
I am trying to connect to a shared folder in VM now.
I am not sure how to mount a shared folder.
These are two screenshots from VM.
This is screenshot from ADF's Lined Service:
What is the issue?
Regards to IP address, 10.1.0.4 is the IP address when I ping IPCONFIG.
@King Java - Here is the steps which helps to connect ADF with File system connector: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1190485/cannot-connect-to-laptop123c-the-system-could-not
