This worked with no errors. thank you prikryl

AFAIK, the $False is not a variable, it's a constant, so no issue. And it would not be a problem even if it were a variable, as you are reading it only.

thank you sir. i will do a production test next week. i only access that specific server once a week and the file is immediately moved from when the file is uploaded.

i have a question, will this cause an issue? using the $False variable twice within the same try statement? 


    

try

    {

        $session.Open($sessionOptions)

        $transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions

        $transferOptions.TransferMode = [WinSCP.TransferMode]::Binary

        $transferOptions.FilePermissions = $Null

        $transferOptions.PreserveTimestamp = $False ## First $False variable



        $remote_dir = ("/REMOTE/PATH/")

        $local_dir = ("C:\LOCAL\PATH\")



        $date = ((Get-Date).ToString("MMddyy"))

        $flist = ("FILE" + $date + ".zip"), ("FILE2" + $date + ".zip")



        foreach ($fn in $flist)

        {

            $transferResult = $session.PutFiles(($local_dir + $fn), ($remote_dir), $False, $transferOptions) ## SECOND $False variable

            $transferResult.Check()

            Write-Host ("Uploaded... " + $fn)

        }

        

    }

Powershell .NET Set permissions and Preserve times options

How can i set the following options as per the .NET assembly instructions in powershell?


When using .NET assembly, set TransferOptions as follows: 
TransferOptions transferOptions = new TransferOptions();

...

transferOptions.FilePermissions = null; // This is default

transferOptions.PreserveTimestamp = false;


when i attempt to use "null" or "false" in powershell i get the following errors: 

The term 'null' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.



The term 'false' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.


i was able to get the script to run using: 

$transferOptions.FilePermissions = Out-Null

$transferOptions.PreserveTimestamp = Out-Null


not sure if this is the correct way of doing the above. any help is greatly appreciated.
