Maybe file is not available in the PowerShell if its on a network location or if it is read only. The read only problem is described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/pwhsw2/invokerestmethod_method_put_infile_doesnt_work/

basically it is changing permissions as PowerShell has bug here:

Set-ItemProperty -Path <path> -Name IsReadOnly -Value $False

Then try again. If you can't change permissions you might switch to PowerShell 7
