Announcing the general availability of resumable uploads for
Azure Storage Blob SFTP. In the event of a failed partial transfer, this new
feature enables users to open the partial file and continue writing the
remaining content. This capability optimizes time and conserves network
bandwidth, especially in situations where network interruptions occur during
file transfers, such as in remote areas with low connectivity or when
transferring large files like multimedia or seismic data etc.

time and reducing network bandwidth usage.

The SFTP transfer modes that Azure Blob Storage SFTP
supports are below:
- Write: This mode lets the
client continue an upload by adding data to an existing file from a specific
point without creating a new file.
- Write + Create: This mode
allows the client to resume an upload by either adding to an existing file or
creating a new one if it doesn't exist, providing flexibility when the file may
not be present initially.
- Append: This mode adds data
to the end of an existing file without overwriting its current contents.
Resumable upload enhances efficiency by saving time and
bandwidth during interrupted file transfers. Please reach out to
