AzCopy Not Working

Question

I’m trying to sync all newer files in a local folder to Azure blob storage using a certificate for authentication. For testing purposes, I used the example command to create a self signed certificate and uploaded it to Azure.
This part appears to be working, but I still can’t get any files from the local folder to appear in blob folder.
Not sure if it’s a syntax error in the AZCopy command or something else. No errors message appears other than a notice that environment variables with the certificate password may be visible in my command history.

This is the command I tried.

azcopy login --tenant-id ***** --service-principal --certificate-path C:\Upload\certificate.pfx --application-id ***** sync "c:\upload\files\" "https://tenantname.blob.core.windows.net/$root"

Is there a different way to write this command that will work?

@KJ
I believe the issue might be the syntax of the command. They should be two separate commands instead of one. Can you please try running the azcopy login followed separately by azcopy sync?

Hi,

For syncing the files, please use AzCopy Sync.
Please refer to this documentation.
