Azure-cli: Recursivley List Files

[chanaka-jostle]

Hello,

Can you please tell me how to recursively list all files in file container using the cli? az storage file list will not list files in directories without me having to explicitly indicate which directory but sub folders that have files won't be listed. Thanks

There isn't a command recursively list all the content in a file share. You need to script az storage file list multiple times to list all files in a share. The other option is to mount the file share in your OS and list files. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-use-files-windows

Hello Troy,

Thanks, can you guys add that feature request to your backlog? It would be
really handy. AWS cli has that feature and it saves a lot of time.

@troydai @williexu If I called az storage blob list without --num-results on a blob container would it list all the files if I had over 100000 + blob files?

Thanks

@chanaka-jostle yes, it would.

Where were we on this feature? This is too wierd in first place that the fileshare has to behave differently on listing, finding.
