az storage download example fails #19598

Description

The docs don't show an example of az storage file download but they do show an example of az storage file download-batch which is this:

az storage file download-batch --account-key 00000000 --account-name MyAccount --destination . --no-progress --source /path/to/file

Note the source path starts with a /

When I run the az storage file download command from my windows machine via powershell, and use a similar format path to the file I want to download, I get back an error:

 az storage file download --path /some/path/readme.txt -s mystorage--account-key [account-key]

The specifed resource name contains invalid characters. ErrorCode: InvalidResourceName

InvalidResourceNameThe specifed resource name contains invalid characters.

However if I remove the leading slash from the path it works.

So with download-batch the example shows using a leading slash, but if you use that same format for file download it errors. Perhaps an example should be added for downloading a single file to clarify, and perhaps the cli file download command could be made more robust to cope with a leading slash..
