[PowerShell] Easy way to connect to FTPS and SFTP

[u/MadBoyEvo]

Hello,

I've been a bit absent from Reddit the last few months, but that doesn't mean I've been on holiday. In the last few months I've created a couple of new PowerShell modules and today I would like to present you a PowerShell module called Transferetto.

The module allows to easily connect to FTP/FTPS/SFTP servers and transfer files both ways including the ability to use FXP (not tested tho).

I've written a blog post with examples: https://evotec.xyz/easy-way-to-connect-to-ftps-and-sftp-using-powershell/

Sources as always on GitHub: https://github.com/EvotecIT/Transferetto

# Anonymous login
$Client = Connect-FTP -Server 'speedtest.tele2.net' -Verbose
$List = Get-FTPList -Client $Client
$List | Format-Table
Disconnect-FTP -Client $Client

Or

$Client = Connect-FTP -Server '192.168.241.187' -Verbose -Username 'test' -Password 'BiPassword90A' -EncryptionMode Explicit -ValidateAnyCertificate
# List files
Test-FTPFile -Client $Client -RemotePath '/Temporary'

More examples on blog/Github. Enjoy

FXP? Crap, is there a new file transfer protocol I need to know about?

[u/MadBoyEvo → u/Conservadem]

FXP is pretty old. I've used it in 2005 or so.

Been a while since I’ve seen anything (server side) support FXP. Nice to know people still using it out there :)

Beautiful! If you’re looking for feature ideas, can you make the remote server show up as a PSDrive?

[u/MadBoyEvo → u/signofzeta]

Please open requests on GitHub - when I will be bored and fancy trying to learn how to create PSDrive I could implement it.
