Help setting $transferOptions.FilePermissions in PowerShell

2015-02-25 23:01

I need to set the file permissions to octal 666 in PowerShell.

$transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions
$transferOptions.TransferMode = [WinSCP.TransferMode]::Binary
$transferOptions.FilePermissions = ?

I am new to PowerShell and am trying to work through this "Create new instance of FilePermissions and set FilePermissions.Octal to a value of the switch."

Any help/guidance would be appreciated

Use:

$transferOptions.FilePermissions = New-Object WinSCP.FilePermissions
$transferOptions.FilePermissions.Octal = "666"

Powershell winscp filepermissions

I have to use the following:

Write-Host "transferOptions.FilePermissions Object Creation ..."
            
$transferOptions.TransferMode = [WinSCP.TransferMode]::Binary 
$transferOptions.Octal = New-Object WinSCP.FilePermissions
$transferOptions.Octal = "0775"

Why?
Reason: $transferOptions.FilePermissions is NOT valid property error?

Write-Host "Uploading $line ..."
 
$transferResult = $session.PutFiles($line, $remotePath, $false, $transferOptions).Check()

Please help?

As shown above, this is the correct code:

$transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions
$transferOptions.TransferMode = [WinSCP.TransferMode]::Binary 
$transferOptions.FilePermissions = New-Object WinSCP.FilePermissions
$transferOptions.FilePermissions.Octal = "0775"

Alternatively, like this:

$transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions -Property @{
    TransferMode = [WinSCP.TransferMode]::Binary 
    FilePermissions = New-Object WinSCP.FilePermissions -Property @{ Octal = "0775" }
}

You can have the latter code generated by WinSCP GUI:
