Description

Hi,

I have an issue with the cmlet "Get-SFTPItem". I want to download one or more folder(s) with this command

Get-SFTPChildItem $sftpsession -Path $source | Where-Object {$_.Name -notlike "*.*"} | ForEach-Object {
        Get-SFTPItem $sftpsession -Path $_.FullName -Destination E:\Test\ -NoProgress
}

With a normal behivor, the command will download all folder to the $path in the local server. But have this error :

Get-SFTPItem : Could not find a part of the path 'E:\Test\XXXX_20190502\XXXX_20190502.zip'.
At line:1 char:104
+ ... ach-Object {Get-SFTPItem $sftpsession -Path $_.FullName -Destination  ...
+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-SFTPItem], DirectoryNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException,SSH.GetSftpItem

So the command download every file in the folder but not the folder itself... If I add a command to create the folder in local server I have this error

Get-SFTPItem : Item /tmp/backups/XXXX_20190502 already present on local host.
At C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\script automatisation.ps1:24 char:9
+         Get-SFTPItem $sftpsession -Path $_.FullName -Destination $pat ...
+         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (SSH.SftpSession:SftpSession) [Get-SFTPItem], SftpPermissionDeniedException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Item /tmp/backups/futurcgi_20190502 already present on local host.,SSH.GetSftpItem

In this case, the cmlet crash because the folder already exist...

Do you have a solution for that ?

Thanks,
Regards,

Research direction

Start at the Get-SFTPItem entry point and reproduce the two command examples: downloading a remote folder with and without creating its local destination first. Done means folder downloads work without a missing-path error and an existing local folder does not cause the cmdlet to fail.
