PowerShell: FTP Upload whole

Question

I would like to upload 2 files from an directory on my pc to an ftp server.

And this isnt working. Does someone have an idea? Thanks in advance!

Greetings

My new whole code:

$typeDefinition = @"
using System;
using System.Net;
public class FtpClient : WebClient
{
    protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
    {
        FtpWebRequest ftpWebRequest = base.GetWebRequest(address) as FtpWebRequest;
        ftpWebRequest.EnableSsl = true;
        return ftpWebRequest;
    }
}
"@

Add-Type -TypeDefinition $typeDefinition

$LocalFilePath2 = "C:\M122\out"
$RemoteFileName2 = "****************"
$LocalFilePath2 = "******"
$ServerName2 = "*********"
$Username2 = "*******"
$Password2 = "*******************"

$ftpClient = New-Object FtpClient
$ftpclient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username2, $Password2)

$files = Get-ChildItem $LocalFilePath2
foreach ($file in $files) {
    $uri2 = New-Object System.Uri("ftp://$ServerName2/$RemoteFileName2/$($file.name)")
    $ftpclient.uploadfile($uri2, $file.fullname)
}

You need to create a $webclient object before trying to use it:

$webclient =  New-Object System.Net.WebClient

And you have something weird in your foreach loop as you create $ile but never use it. Furthermore, your remote filename is constant where it needs to be updated for each file. Perhaps you mean to do this:-

$files = Get-ChildItem $LocalFilePath2
foreach ($file in $files) {
    $uri2 = New-Object System.Uri("ftp://$ServerName2/$($file.name)")
    $webclient.uploadfile($uri2, $file.fullname)
}

If you need to support TLS then take a look at the this post Automate SSL FTP Upload via Powershell.

Take the code posted by h0r41i0 and use $ftpClient rather than $webclient.

$typeDefinition = @"
using System;
using System.Net;
public class FtpClient : WebClient
{
    protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
    {
        FtpWebRequest ftpWebRequest = base.GetWebRequest(address) as FtpWebRequest;
        ftpWebRequest.EnableSsl = true;
        return ftpWebRequest;
    }
}
"@

Add-Type -TypeDefinition $typeDefinition

[Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}

$LocalFilePath2 = "****"
$ServerName2 = "****"
$Username2 = "****"
$Password2 = "****"

$ftpClient = New-Object FtpClient
$ftpclient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username2, $Password2)

$files = Get-ChildItem $LocalFilePath2
foreach ($file in $files) {
    $uri2 = New-Object System.Uri("ftp://$ServerName2/$($file.name)")
    $ftpclient.uploadfile($uri2, $file.fullname)
}

Note that if the certificate on the remote server is not trusted then you need the ServerCertificateValidationCallback line to accept the certificate.
