I am using the below code to copy the file to Azure File share. It is throwing error and Some times its working when I do

1. like reset the key by replacing the new key in connectionstring
2. by changing the time from cst and est in local machine( not all time working)

I am getting Error as

I am using Access key 1 to access the Azure File share

Could someone let me know what is the error I am doing in the code

using Azure;
    using Azure.Storage.Files.Shares;
    using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.File;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    
    var connectionString = "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=XXXXX;AccountKey=lPI20ZMzVjB9xcPmIJQjjIhFIuWs6JxTcxef7Ri3hRMtE3N1ov81gpabOVe 0BKEFiEZdhcAPhYC ASt4Yjddw==;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net";
    var fileShareName = "FileshareName";
    var folderName = "FolderName";
    ShareClient share = new(connectionString, fileShareName);
    if (!share.Exists())
    {
        share.CreateIfNotExists();
    }
    var directory = share.GetDirectoryClient(folderName);
    if(!directory.Exists())
    {
    directory.CreateIfNotExists();    
    }
    var directories = directory.GetFilesAndDirectories();
    
    string sFilename = "sample.pdf";
    string sPath = @"\\abc\Test.pdf";
    
    foreach (var s in directories)
    {
        if (s.Name == "Files")
        {
            var x = directory.GetSubdirectoryClient(s.Name);
            ShareFileClient file = x.GetFileClient(sFilename);
            using (FileStream stream = File.OpenRead(sPath))
            {
                file.Create(stream.Length);
                file.UploadRange(
                    new HttpRange(0, stream.Length),
                    stream);
            }
        }
    }
    Console.ReadLine();

CodePudding user response：

if (!share.Exists()) is not working and we need to write as share.CreateIfNotExists(). It solved the Authentication error.

I believe the error is coming because of the date/time settings on the computer where your code is running.

If you notice the error message, the date/time returned by Azure Storage Service is 2022-09-26T06:53:52.3042347Z however the date/time value sent in the request is Thu, 22 Sep 2022 10:07:55 GMT.

Because the current date/time on the machine where your code is running is about 4 days before the date/time on Azure Storage Service, the requests to Azure Storage are being rejected.

I would recommend taking a look at the date/time value on the local machine and make sure that it is correct.
