It appears that PowerShell's Invoke-WebRequest, Invoke-RestMethod, and Start-BitsTransfer could all do the job as well. Very recent versions of Windows include OpenSSH, but I don't think it's enabled by default, so sftp is probably not a practical alternative (if that's even enabled on the server side). I like the urlmon solution since it doesn't even involve spawning an external command, but Win32::API is not in core, is it? So bitsadmin might be the simplest and most reliable solution.Thread Previous | Thread Next
