Versioning

This repository adheres to Semantic Versioning. It will be maintained through the CHANGELOG.md and in GitHub Releases. It's important to note that you must maintain the version with your releases in iot/samba/client/_version.py, otherwise a new package version will fail to get published.

Getting Started

3. Basic usage:

   import tempfile
   
   from iot.samba.client import IoTSambaClient
   
   # instantiate client
   samba_client = IoTSambaClient(
       smb_server="windows-samba-s",
       smb_host="1.2.3.456",
       smb_port=445,
       smb_user="mySambaUserName",
       smb_pass="mySambaPass***"
   )
   
   # print info w/ repr
   print(f"{samba_client.__repr__()}")
   
   # 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()
