Remove blob storage name from prefix of local username for SFTP

Hello,

I'm trying to use SFTP on Azure blob storage but after setting up a local user, the connection string adds a prefix to the username with the blob storage account's name and a "."

e.g. blobstoragename.localusername@blobstoragename.blob.core.windows.net

Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the prefix and in particular the "." as it is causing issues with the system we are trying to ingest data from because it says it is an invalid username format.

Many thanks,

Kit

    Hi Kit MacInnes-Manby,

    When using SFTP with Azure Blob Storage, the user name setting is indeed storage_account_name.localusername1 ,This format cannot be changed or removed. The prefix ensures that the SFTP client can correctly identify the storage account and local users.

    One possible work around is to see if you can configure your system to accept this username format. Alternatively, you might consider using a different method to capture this unlimited data.

    Please go through the below given links:
