WINSCP GETFILES PASSWORD
The first command prompts you to enter the password and creates a SecureString object. $Options = New-WinSCPSessionOptions -Hostname "mySSHserver" -UserName "User" -SecurePassword $SecureString -GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnySshHostKey To improve security, the New-WinSCPSessionOptions cmdlet also allows you to pass the password as a secure string: $SecureString = Read-Host -AsSecureString In the example, the password appears in clear text, which is not nice. Receive-WinSCPItem -WinSCPSession $Session -RemotePath "/path/file" -LocalPath "C:\path\"Ĭlose-WinSCPSession -WinSCPSession $Session $Session = Open-WinSCPSession -SessionOptions $Options
WINSCP GETFILES HOW TO
The following lines demonstrate how to download via SCP: $Options = New-WinSCPSessionOptions -Hostname "mySSHserver" -UserName "User" -Password "Password" -GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnySshHostKey Alternatively, you can import the module into your PowerShell profile. However, because the WinSCP module doesn’t support module autoloading, you have to import the module manually with Import-Module WinSCP whenever you launch PowerShell.
WINSCP GETFILES INSTALL
After you install the module, it will be automatically imported into your PowerShell session. This will also install the required assemblies.
WINSCP GETFILES ZIP
Then, you can install the WinSCP module from GitHub with this command: Install-Module -ModuleUrl "" -ModuleName WinSCP -Type ZIP To install the module, I recommend that you first install PsGet with this command: wget | iex Note that the PowerShell cmdlets were created by different developers. The corresponding PowerShell module uses the WinSCP assemblies to provide SCP functionality in PowerShell. WinSCP is a popular, free, GUI-based SFTP and SCP tool for Windows. If you want to work with SCP in PowerShell, the WinSCP module might be a better option than Posh-SSH. You can convert from the UNIX format to the Windows format with this command: Get-Content "UnixFile" | Out-File -Encoding utf8 "WindowsFile"īut that’s a bit cumbersome. Thus, if you download a text file from a Linux machine and open it in a text editor in Windows, all line breaks will be missing. If the private key has no passphrase, you simply leave the password field empty in the credentials dialog window and only enter the user name.Ī downside of Get-SCPFile compared to Get-SFTPFile is that it doesn’t automatically convert text files from the UNIX format to the Windows format. If you secured the private key with a passphrase, you have to store the passphrase in the password property of the PSCredential object. Get-SCPFile : Could not find a part of the path Otherwise, Get-SCPFile will throw this error: Note that you have to specify the local file name. The public key has to be stored on the host in the authorized_keys file in the user’s. On a Linux machine, you would generate the corresponding key pair with ssh-keygen -t rsa.
I will demonstrate this with the Get-SCPFile cmdlet that allows you to download files via the SCP protocol: Get-SCPFile -ComputerName "mySSHserver" -Credential $Credentials -Key "myPrivateKeyFile"-RemoteFile "/path/file" -LocalFile "C:\path\file" Posh-SSH also supports public key authentication. Get-SCPFolder -ComputerName "mySFTPserver" -Credential $Credentials -LocalFolder "C:\path\" -RemoteFolder "/folder" In this case, you don’t have to create an SFTP session first: $Credentials = Get-Credential To download an entire folder with its subfolders, you need the Get-SCPFolder cmdlet. You first have to create a PSCredential object with Get-Credential. Unlike Invoke-WebRequest, you can’t just pass the user name with the -Credential parameter. Get-SFTPFile -SFTPSession $Session -RemoteFile "/path/file" -LocalPath "C:\path\" $Session = New-SFTPSession -ComputerName "mySFTPserver" -Credential $Credentials
To do so, you first have to establish an SFTP session with the module’s New-SFTPSession cmdlet: $Credentials = Get-Credential The Get-SFTPFile cmdlet allows you to download via SFTP.
