I have a file in an Azure File storage. I would like to download it using a DSC resource (xRemoteFile, for example).

The Azure File storage gives me an HTTPS url to that file, but it is not directly usable:

Using SAS:

Next I am trying to use the SAS URL:

Still no dice.

EDIT 2

As you can see from the snapshots, the SasToken is 

?sv=2017-07-29&ss=f&srt=o&sp=r&se=2020-05-10T00:41:14Z&st=2018-05-09T16:41:14Z&spr=https&sig=...

and the URL is 

https://***.file.core.windows.net/?sv=2017-07-29&ss=f&srt=o&sp=r&se=2020-05-10T00:41:14Z&st=2018-05-09T16:41:14Z&spr=https&sig=...

i.e. the SasToken is appended to https://***.file.core.windows.net/

I can't tell from the screenshot if you are, but you need to specify a SaS token. Azure File shares have the ACL set to private and you cannot change that, so you can't download the file anonymously. You need to generate a SaS token for authentication and then use that in your URL.

You can generate a SaS token directly in the Azure portal now.

  • Still does not work. I must be misunderstanding something very basic here... Commented May 9, 2018 at 17:01
  • your URL is wrong, it should be name.files.core.windows.net/filename.doc?SaSToken Commented May 9, 2018 at 17:02
  • Hmm, but this is exactly what I am doing - I updated the post. Commented May 9, 2018 at 20:09
  • No, your not, your doing file.core.windows.net?sastoken, you have no file name inbetween Commented May 9, 2018 at 20:17
  • Oh, stupid me. Now I finally get it. Thanks a bunch, it worked. Commented May 9, 2018 at 20:21
