Answer 1

Yes possible using WinRM. You first have to make sure that target server does WinRM enabled. More details here in official doc about WinRM

Once you have winrm enabled, you need to make sure that you can create session

$session = New-PSSession –ComputerName TARGETSERVER  

Once you have the session you can copy file from local to target server

Copy-Item –Path C:\Folder1\filetocopy.txt –Destination 'C:\' –ToSession $session
