Upload files with FTPS

This pattern is useful when a PowerShell script needs to publish files to a classic FTP-family endpoint but still use encrypted transport.

It is adapted from the source example at Examples/Example06-UploadFTPS.ps1.

When to use this pattern

• The target system exposes FTPS rather than SFTP.
• You want to upload one file, several files, or a whole selected set from disk.
• The remote location may need to be created as part of the transfer.

Example

Import-Module Transferetto

$ftpClient = Connect-FTP -Server 'ftp.example.com' `
    -Credential (Get-Credential) `
    -EncryptionMode Explicit

$localFiles = Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath "$PSScriptRoot\Upload" -File

foreach ($file in $localFiles) {
    Send-FTPFile -Client $ftpClient `
        -LocalPath $file.FullName `
        -RemotePath "/incoming/$($file.Name)" `
        -RemoteExists Overwrite `
        -CreateRemoteDirectory
}

Disconnect-FTP -Client $ftpClient

What this demonstrates

• connecting to an FTPS endpoint with explicit encryption
• selecting local files through normal PowerShell file handling
• uploading each file into a deterministic remote path
