Good overview on getting started. I'm going through this right now for one of the processes we need to automate. The "winscp" module is definitely easier than calling the DLLs.

@paschott nice! Just an FYI though, like I mentioned in the post, I don't recommend this for a production process. It's a 3rd party built tool, so you're relying on them using a legitimate copy of the WinSCP DLL/EXE, and the module does not appear to be in active development.

But I think it's great for proof of concept / draft work before moving into something more complicated, like C#.

For a production process, if it needed to be in PowerShell, then I would recommend doing it the official way as shown by WinSCP, and that is to import the WinSCP DLL file as a new type, and work with it that way.
