How can I encrypt the password if using in PowerShell?
Hello,
I have this script I use daily, but I want to encrypt the password:
Normally I use this command in PowerShell that creates a hashed password I reference instead:
Then add this to PowerShell like this
I'm not sure if the is a way WinSCP can do this or how to add the above to the PowerShell script replacing what is there.
Any help would be most appreciated.
I have this script I use daily, but I want to encrypt the password:
# Load WinSCP .NET assembly Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCPnet.dll" # Set up session options $sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{ Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp HostName = "10.10.10.34" UserName = "winscpcopy" Password = "password123" SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-ed25519 255 pE/2lITZx7dvFNbg86PzSepRcfEA38tmLE5nvv2kw=" } $session = New-Object WinSCP.Session try { # Connect $session.Open($sessionOptions) # Transfer files $session.PutFiles("Y:\file1.csv", "/usr/share/csv/*").Check() } finally { $session.Dispose() }
"password123" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Out-File "C:\Scripts\pwdlocal.txt"
$user = 'windscpcopy' $file = 'C:\Scripts\pwd.txt' $credentials = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $user, (Get-Content $file | ConvertTo-SecureString)
Any help would be most appreciated.
