Re: Error trying to download file

$directoryInfo = $session.ListDirectory("/EXPORT/")



$files = $directoryInfo.Files | ?{$_.name -match "LYLI_$date"}



foreach ($Fileinfo in $files) {

   

   $session.GetFiles($Fileinfo, $LocalPath).Check()

   Write-Host ($fileinfo.Name)

}

In your code above, the $Fileinfo is an object of type RemoteFileInfo, while Session.GetFiles expects a string. PowerShell implicitly converts the object to a script by calling .ToString() method that is implemented by RemoteFileInfo to return Name. But Name is file name only, without a path. That's why .GetFiles fails, because it's not able to find the file without knowing its path.

This is resolved. I used a different method.

$session.Open($sessionOptions)

$directoryInfo = $session.ListDirectory("/EXPORT/")
$date = Get-Date -Format yyyyMMdd
$Files = $directoryInfo.Files | ?{$_.name -match "LYLI_$date"} | select -ExpandProperty name
$RemotePath = "/EXPORT/$Files"
$LocalPath = "C:\Users\samc\Desktop\FTP\$Files"

Try{
if ($session.FileExists($RemotePath)) {

Write-Host ("File {0} exists" -f $RemotePath)
$session.GetFiles($RemotePath, $LocalPath).Check()
}

else { Write-Host "File not availiable" }
}

catch [Exception]{
Write-Host $_.Exception.Message
}
