   # download blob to tempfile
   temp_file = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile()
   download_result = samba_client.download_file(
       share="MY_SAMBA_SHARE",
       path="path\\to\\blob\\parent\\dir",
       file="blob.txt",
       dest=temp_file.name,
   )
   if not download_result:
       print("unable to download file")
       temp_file.close()
       samba_client.disconnect()
       raise
   
   # upload tempfile to blob
   upload_result = samba_client.upload_file(
       share="MY_SAMBA_SHARE",
       path="path\\to\\new\\parent\\dir",
       file="newBlob.txt",
       source=temp_file.name,
   )
   if not upload_result:
       print("unable to upload file")
       temp_file.close()
       samba_client.disconnect()
       raise
   
   # clean-up local memory and disconnect from smb session
   temp_file.close()
   samba_client.disconnect()
