azcopy with sas tokens and more

I struggled a bit with using azcopy to copy from one Azure storage container to another. The issue finally turned out to be that when a new SAS token was created, the default permissions were not sufficient for what I wanted to do - needed to set the expiry time and read / write permissions correctly. After doing that, the command was:

azcopy cp "https://ourstorage.blob.core.windows.net/ourname/*" "https://ourdestination.blob.core.windows.net/destname?sp=racw&st=-snip-&se=-snip-&spr=https&sv=-snip-&sr=c&sig=-snip-%3D" --recursive
