    I'm using this script as a template to be retrieving files from sftp site. Instead of using the defined in script local drive to send files it creates a new folder.

     

    It copied file too:

    d:\download\home\user

     

    Why?

     

    Thanks.

     

    try
    {
        # Load WinSCP .NET assembly
        Add-Type -Path "WinSCPnet.dll"
     
        # Setup session options
        $sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{
            Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp
            HostName = "example.com"
            UserName = "user"
            Password = "mypassword"
            SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 xxxxxxxxxxx..."
        }
     
        $session = New-Object WinSCP.Session
     
        try
        {
            # Connect
            $session.Open($sessionOptions)
     
            # Download files
            $transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions
            $transferOptions.TransferMode = [WinSCP.TransferMode]::Binary
     
            $transferResult =
                $session.GetFiles("/home/user/*", "d:\download\", $False, $transferOptions)
     
            # Throw on any error
            $transferResult.Check()
     
            # Print results
            foreach ($transfer in $transferResult.Transfers)
            {
                Write-Host "Download of $($transfer.FileName) succeeded"
            }
        }
        finally
        {
            # Disconnect, clean up
            $session.Dispose()
        }
     
        exit 0
    }
    catch
    {
        Write-Host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)"
        exit 1
    }

    you are using a software for which thee vendor has a forum of its own - their forum is where you should be asking this question, not here, neither on a Powershell forum as the issue has nothing to do with Powershell.
