I'm trying to follow this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/copy-file with examples from this repo: https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-php/blob/master/samples/FileSamples.php#L235 The file is indeed copied to the azure server but the content aren't readable, to say the least, it takes a size but it's empty. This is only a text file as well, and what I plan to achieve after fixing this is to copy excel files generated via PHP to an azure file storage server.

    Hi @rodolfotuble-4323,

    Are you getting any error messages or confirmation message that the file has been copied to the Azure server? When you say "not readable " what does that mean? you should get a 202 status code if the copy was successful.

    A few things to keep in mind:

    -If the destination file exists, it will be overwritten. The destination file cannot be modified while the copy operation is in progress.

    -The Copy File operation always copies the entire source blob or file; copying a range of bytes or set of blocks is not supported

    -The destination file is always the same size as the source blob or file, so the value of the Content-Length header for the destination file matches that for the source blob or file.

    Hope that helps.

    -Grace
