title: How to upload a file to Azure Storage with WinSCP (SFTP)?
body: <p>theI have a C# service using WinSCP which reliably uploads files to any SFTP server. I'd like to use it to connect to MS Azure Storage and <strong>upload</strong> files there using the same SFTP protocol. <strong><em>Please note I am not looking to use any other protocol (i.e.: FTP, FTPS, HTTPS, etc.) as well as I am not looking to SFTP files [out] of the Azure Storage.</em></strong> There are plenty of examples of  how to use WinSCP when SFTP [out] from Azure Storage but none of them covers how to SFTP [in].</p>
  
  <p>I have searched Stack Overflow knowledge base, Azure Help Documentation (<a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-how-to-use-blobs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-how-to-use-blobs/</a>) as well as WinSCP docs (<a href="http://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_microsoft_azure_webjob_sftp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_microsoft_azure_webjob_sftp</a>, etc.).</p>
  
  <p>Any help appreciated. Thanks.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE: 2016-01-29</strong>
  So... from what I understand so far, it is not possible to upload files to Azure Storage using SFTP protocol. MS Azure does not support this feature. Can anybody confirm that for me please? </p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE: 2016-02-01</strong>
  The similar Q/A here (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21711592/facading-azure-storage-blob-with-sftp-service">Facading Azure storage blob with sFTP service</a>) does not answer my question because:
  a) all answers are suggesting a theoretical workarounds using VM or other substitutes
  b) it does not provide clear answer to my question</p>
  
  <p><strong>This should not be so difficult to answer.</strong> If the SFTP is not supported then the answer is: <strong><em>"SFTP is not supported in Azure"</em></strong>. If the SFTP protocol is supported, then please provide more details about the settings, methods, and/or C# example. My question is clearly defined on purpose so others with the same need can quickly find the answer without wasting their time.</p>
