Automate SFTP activation on ADLS

Question

I have an Azure datalake storage account. On the Azure web interface, I can activate or deactivate the SFTP :

I there a possibility to activate or deactivate SFTP using python ?

I found something using bard but that's not working :

from azure.storage.filedatalake import ADLSFileSystemClient

client = ADLSFileSystemClient.from_connection_string("connection_string")

client.set_sftp_access("my-filesystem", True)

Error :

ImportError: cannot import name 'ADLSFileSystemClient' from 'azure.storage.filedatalake' (lib/python3.8/site-packages/azure/storage/filedatalake/init.py)

Is there a possibility to activate or deactivate SFTP using Python?

You can use the code below to Enable and disable SFTP using Azure Python SDK.

Code:(Enable)

from azure.mgmt.storage import StorageManagementClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
subscription_id="Your-subscription-id"
storage_client = StorageManagementClient(credential, subscription_id)

resource_group_name = "your-resource-grp-name"
storage_account_name = "your-storage-account-name"

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
storage_client = StorageManagementClient(credential, subscription_id)

# Get the current properties of the storage account
storage_account = storage_client.storage_accounts.get_properties(
    resource_group_name, storage_account_name
)

# Enable SFTP for the storage account
storage_account.is_sftp_enabled=True
updated_storage_account=storage_client.storage_accounts.update(
    resource_group_name, storage_account_name, storage_account
)
print("Updated Storage Account Properties:")
print(f"Name: {updated_storage_account.name}")
print(f"Is SFTP Enabled: {updated_storage_account.is_sftp_enabled}")

Output:

Updated Storage Account Properties:
Name: venkat098
Is SFTP Enabled: True

Similarly, In the above code if you change storage_account.is_sftp_enabled=False it will disable the SFTP in the Azure storage account.
