Re: Powershell: Exception on New-Object WinSCP.Session

I'm not yet familiar with PowerShell Core 6, but note that WinSCP .NET assembly needs a full .NET Framework, not just .NET Core. So that can be the problem.

Hello, thanks for the info, so i can just install .net framework (version?) and everything fine? Or does PS6 only accept .net core?

Best!

So before, did you try to use WinSCP from pwsh.exe?
