Transferetto overview

Use Transferetto when a PowerShell process needs both transport and remote-management capability. The project now exposes a reusable C# transport library with thin binary PowerShell cmdlets on top, which keeps the protocol logic consistent while making future CLI and MCP surfaces realistic.

Good fit

• uploading generated files to FTP, FTPS, SFTP, or SCP endpoints
• downloading partner or application exports with typed status results
• managing Linux hosts through SSH commands, interactive shells, transcripts, and tunnels
• combining transfer, inspection, permissions, and shell automation inside a single PowerShell workflow

What Transferetto includes

• FTP and FTPS cmdlets for connection, listing, metadata, directories, and stream-based file access
• SFTP cmdlets for file transfer, directory transfer, permissions, timestamps, symlinks, and streams
• SCP cmdlets for file and directory copy workflows over SSH
• SSH cmdlets for one-shot commands, prompt-aware shell sessions, transcripts, and tunnels

Architecture

• Transferetto contains the reusable .NET protocol layer
• Transferetto.PowerShell provides the binary cmdlet surface
• website examples stay intentionally curated so the public docs show common patterns without dumping every repository sample into the site

Read by workflow

• start with Transfer files with PowerShell if the job is file movement
• start with Transfer folders with PowerShell if the job is recursive copy
• start with Inspect remote files with PowerShell if the script should list and verify before acting
• start with Manage Linux servers with PowerShell if the host itself is part of the automation
• choose FTP and FTPS workflows when compatibility with classic endpoints matters
• choose SFTP and SCP workflows when secure file delivery is the main job
• choose SSH management guide when the script needs to operate the remote host itself
• read Streams and session patterns when you want the reusable object model behind the cmdlets
