FTP Download PowerShell Script

Question

I am attempting to download a file from an ftp site, but am getting an error from the script:

The error is:

Exception calling "GetResponse" with "0" argument(s): "The remote server returned an error: (530) Not logged in."
At ps1:15 char:1

• $FTPResponse = $FTPRequest.GetResponse()
• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebException

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi,

From the Error message: The remote server returned an error: (530) Not logged in.

I recommend checking the username and password very carefully. In many ftp servers, the username and password are case sensitive.

Please let us know if you would like further assistance.

Best wishes.

@Anonymous - You need to convert password to secure string before creating credential object like below

$Secpwd = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force  
$FTPRequest.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($UserName,$Secpwd)
