Upload FTP file based on extensions in PowerShell

Question

We used the following link to monitor the FTP folder and download files from it:

I need to download only .xml .

I am very new to PowerShell, nothing simple that I am missing?

 if ($line -ne ''| $_.extension -eq '.bpxml-2014' -or $_.extension -eq '.xml') { } 

$line has my filename with the extension. How to check if it has an extension?

Answer 1

Windows includes an FTP command line client. It can be launched using the script command. Use the -s switch to specify a script file.

A command like mget *.xml should be a good start.

Answer 2

Using

 if ($line -Like "*.xml" -or $line -Like ".bpxml-2014") { ... } 

See PowerShell comparison operators .

Alternatively, see (my) solution using the WinSCP.NET assembly used in the PowerShell script:
List of files matching the pattern

And just upload the appropriate files using Session.GetFiles .
