System.FormatException: Invalid length for a Base-64 char array or string.

I'm trying to perform a copy form AWS S3 to Azure of a simple test.txt file

azurecopy -i https://se.amazonaws.com/ -o https://.blob.core.windows.net/
-azurekey %AzureAccountKey% -s3k %AWSAccessKeyID% -s3sk %AWSSecretAccessKeyID% -blobcopy -db

... and I'm getting error :

GetHandler start
GetHandler retrieved azurecopy.S3Handler
GetHandler start
Unknown error generated. Please report to Github page https://github.com/kpfaulkner/azurecopy/issues . Can view underlyin

Hi

What version of azurecopy are you using?
Also, can I get the full stack trace please?

Thanks

Ken

Hi Just to clarify, in the real command you execute the S3 and Azure URLs are correct, yes? Thanks Ken

I'm using version 1.3.1.

I believe I'm using the correct URLs. I tried the 'list' command for the S3 and it worked! (It brought a list of the contents of the S3 bucket).

I'm not sure about the correct parameter for 'AzureAccountKey', when I go to Azure console I cannot find a property with this exact name.

I tried to perform the 'list' command on the azure storage and I get similar error:

I have same issue when i use PowerShell and currently am using Version azurecopy-1.5.1,
Error: System.FormatException: The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it con
tains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters
But, it works fine when i use command prompt.
