I have the below powershell script to do a simple file upload from a windows machine to a remote Linux server.
$DestServerIP = 'xx.xx.xx.xx'
$user = "user"
$pass = "xxxx"
$LocalPath = "\\windows_IP\d$\file.txt"
$RemotePath = '/tmp'
try
{
$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $pass -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($user, $secpasswd)
# Opening a new SFTP session
$session = New-SFTPSession -ComputerName $DestServerIP -Credential $credential -AcceptKey
If (($session.Host -ne $DestServerIP) -or !($session.Connected)){
Write-Host "SFTP server Connectivity failed..!" -ForegroundColor Red
exit 1
}
Write-Host "Session established successfully" -ForegroundColor Green
Write-Host "Started uploading: $LocalPath files to $RemotePath"
# uploading all the .txt files to remote server:
#Set-SFTPItem -SessionId $session.SessionId -Destination $RemotePath -Path ./file.txt
#Set-SFTPItem -SessionId $session.SessionId -LocalFile $LocalPath -RemotePath $RemotePath -Overwrite -Force
#Set-SFTPFile -SessionId $session.SessionId -Localfile "D:\file.txt" -RemotePath $RemotePath
Set-SFTPFile -SessionId ($session).SessionId -LocalFile $LocalPath -RemotePath $RemotePath
Write-Host "Files successfully uploaded"
} finally {
Write-Host "Closing the connection" -ForegroundColor Green
#Disconnect, clean up
Remove-SFTPSession -SessionId $session.SessionId -Verbose | out-null
exit 0
} catch {
Write-Host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" -ForegroundColor Red
exit 1
}
when I run the script using powershell -F scriptname.ps1 I get the following error
Set-SFTPFile : /tmp does not exist.
At D:\scriptname.ps1:76 char:4

I replaced it with Set-SFTPItem that also gives the same error
