Using WinRM to download & upload files from / to a remote server

[yotammazurik]

I’ve recently started to implement WAC in the organisation I am working for, as a wrapper to common administrative tasks. I was very pleased to know that WAC uses winrm for remote management, that in my opinion is more “secure” than smb + rpc. While trying it’s features, I have noticed that downloading and uploading files (including exporting event logs and so) uses smb and not winrm.

WinRM supports copying files from and to a remote session, I would very appreciate if WAC would use that option by default instead of using smb.

Maybe a solution of downgrading to winrm if smb isn’t optional?

Thank you! Yotam.

Hey Yotam,

I'll add this to our backlogs of feature work.

Thank you!
