Session.GetFileToDirectory Not creating local directory if it doesn't exist
I'm trying to pull files to my local machine like so:
Everything works fine if I already have the directory created on my local machine but if it doesn't exist, I get:
I might be wrong as I am fairly new to PowerShell but It says on the documentation
I must be missing something. Thanks in advance for any light shed on this.
foreach ($fileInfo in $Files){
Write-Host "Downloading $($fileInfo.FullName) ..."
$filePath = [WinSCP.RemotePath]::EscapeFileMask($fileInfo.FullName)
$FileFullNameBS = $fileInfo.FullName.Replace("/", "\")
$sp = Split-Path -Path $FileFullNameBS
$LocalDirectory = "$($localPath)$($sp)"
$session.GetFileToDirectory($filePath, $LocalDirectory, $false)
}
Everything works fine if I already have the directory created on my local machine but if it doesn't exist, I get:
Exception calling "GetFileToDirectory" with "3" argument(s): Local Directory

If the target local directory does not exist, it is created.
I must be missing something. Thanks in advance for any light shed on this.
