Powershell - How to upload entire local directory recursively #915
Description
FTP OS: Unix / Windows / Embedded
Windows 10 x64
FTP Server:
IIS Server 2012R2
Computer OS:
Windows 10 Pro x64
FluentFTP Version:
39.3
Framework:
PowerShell
Is it possible to use the powershell cmdlet to upload a directory recursively?
I have a folder with an unknown number of subfolders and files. It is the output from a documentation generator.
I need to basically upload the entire folder as-is to an FTP site.
I have this so far, but it seems to flatten out the folder tree completely, and all the files end up in the "Upload" folder of my ftp site:
$ListFiles = Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath "D:\MyLocalFolderWithComplexFolderSubtree" -Recurse
$Client = Connect-FTP -Server {IPADDRESS} -Verbose -Username "{USER}" -Password "{PASSWORD}" -EncryptionMode Implicit -ValidateAnyCertificate
Send-FTPFile -Client $Client -LocalPath $ListFiles.FullName -RemotePath "/Upload" -RemoteExists Overwrite
Disconnect-FTP -Client $Client
Is there a way to rework the powershell so the local folder and sub-folder structure is created in an identical fashion on the ftp site?

This PS script works, but it's a bit of a hack. I'm using the "Transferto" powershell module because it wraps up both FluentFTP and SSH.NET.

I work with both FTPS and SFTP servers, so having it all wrapped in a single module just seems easier.
I have a help doc generator that spits out a static html site.
I needed to upload the entire local folder tree to a subfolder on a website.
It would be nice to be able to avoid dropping down to the .Net classes/objects directly, but this works for my needs.
This is what I ended up with:
