$dd = Get-Date -Format dd
$mn = Get-Date -Format MMM
$yr = Get-Date -Format yyyy
$umn = $mn.ToUpper()
$dt = $dd + $umn + $yr
$Zfile = 'cm'+$dt+'data.csv.zip'
$Tfile='DATA'+$dt+'.CSV'
$URL = 'https://archives.XYZ.com/content/historical/XYZ/'+$yr+'/'+$umn+'/'+$Zfile
Invoke-WebRequest -URI $URL -OutFile D:\MYDATA\$Zfile
#$URL

I have this script and if I print $URL then I can see https but when run script in error message I can only http and that's why facing "Access Denied"

Invoke-WebRequest : Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://archives.XYZ.com/content/historical/XYZ/2021/JULY/MYFILE.csv.zip" on this server.

    `$mn = Get-Date -Format MMM` returns the monthname as three-letter abbreviation. Your error message shows `JULY`, which is cleary not abbreviated. Also `MYFILE.csv.zip` is not consistent with the code, where you define the file name as `$Zfile = 'cm'+$dt+'data.csv.zip'`. This makes me feel the error message is **not** from the code you show.. – Theo Jul 26 '21 at 15:11
