  • FluentFTP

    An FTP and FTPS client for .NET & .NET Standard, optimized for speed. Provides extensive FTP commands, File uploads/downloads, SSL/TLS connections, Automatic directory listing parsing, File hashing/checksums, File permissions/CHMOD, FTP proxies, FXP support, UTF-8 support, Async/await support, Powershell support and more. Written entirely in C#.

    The PSFTP module is dependent upon System.Net.FtpWebRequest underneath. I believe this has some issues but, unfortunately, is also no longer under any development by MS. I believe they acknowledge there are known bugs for certain scenarios so it may not work but won’t be fixed. I believe that official recommendation is to look for a third-party alternative library! Consider https://github.com/robinrodricks/FluentFTP I believe that is a highly recommended library. Of course this is not a wrapped up PowerShell module like PSFTP, per se, but if you look in the Powershell folder of the git you will find example of usages. Also see here https://github.com/robinrodricks/FluentFTP/issues/434 the library can be used from PowerShell. Likely there are other alternatives too, but fundamentally you probably cannot use the native .Net Framework dependency. I believe newer .Net has superseded all this with entirely different API but that is likely not suitable for your current usage hence the third-party alternative as a recommendation.
