Description
Dear
I need to download from ericsson telecom modules: but the files on ftp server includes illegal character, help me to obviate the problem or teach me how to use move-sftpitem to rename files on the server and then download it.
I will be thankful if you help me.
$Server = "172.18..."
$RemoteDirectory = "/c/pm_data"
$LocalDirectory = "C:\eric"
$User = " ... "
$PWord = ConvertTo-SecureString -String " ... " -AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object -TypeName "System.Management.Automation.PSCredential" -ArgumentList $User, $PWord
$Session = New-SftpSession -ComputerName $Server -Credential $Credential
$Files = Get-SftpChildItem -SessionId $Session.SessionId -Path $RemoteDirectory -Recurse |
Where-Object { $.FullName -like '*.gz' } |
Select-Object -Property @{Name="NewFullName"; Expression={$.FullName -replace ":" , "_"}}
Download each file
$Files | ForEach-Object {
$RemoteFilePath = $_.NewFullName
# Download the file
move-SftpItem -SessionId $Session.SessionId -Destination c:\eric -Path $RemoteFilePath
}
Close the SFTP session
Remove-SftpSession -SessionId $Session.SessionId

Research direction
Start with the Get-SftpChildItem and move-SftpItem commands shown in the issue, then inspect the related transfer entry points to reproduce the failure with the remote filename containing illegal characters. No file or test is named; done means establishing whether the path is transformed incorrectly and adding a verified behavior or a documented workaround for downloading or renaming that file.
