Description

There is a bug with Posh-SSH When I try to Set-SCPFile a text file to a redhat server it adds a BOM to it and I cant stop it from doing that.

I can see the file before the transfer doesn't have BOM and when I pull it from the server it does.

I did the same thing manually with secure shell and it doesn't add BOM so I know its POSH-SSH

Research direction

Start with the Set-SCPFile transfer path and reproduce the report by sending a text file to a Red Hat server, then compare its bytes before and after transfer. Done means Set-SCPFile transfers the file without adding a BOM, while preserving the existing file contents.
