BSSC

BSSC (Blob Storage Service Client) is a command-line application that provides a method for bulk file uploads, downloads, and reads from a Blob Storage Service. You must have security for the Blob Storage Service to perform these operations. The BSSC is stored in the CygNet\Clients directory (Bssc.exe) on the host server.

Folder
