SFTP File Import To SQL Azure DB

  • Hi and thanks for helping.
    I have a database in the Azure Cloud, it is a SQL database as a service (PaaS).
    I have a client that stores files that I have to collect daily, on their premises, via SFTP.
    In an on-premise solution, I would store encrypted connection information in a table, query it to create batch files in secured NTFS folders, execute the batch files to get the .csv files local, then delete the batch files, and update log tables.
    Then I would use T SQL commands to bulk insert the contents of the files to their respective tables.
    It is not the best solution, but it gets the job done.

    How do I change this flow to work with SQL Azure (PaaS)?
    Since it is PaaS, I don't have the SQL Agent or Jobs.
    I found Azure Automation which I can use to get info from our Azure FTP server, but not one with a different Active Directory service (unless I am reading the documentation wrong).

    Surely somebody else has done this already!
    Please, help.
    Also, I am new to Azure period, and will likely need click though examples of how to setup any middle pieces.
