Managed Reference for BITS PowerShell Commands

Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 4.0 can use Windows PowerShell cmdlets to create and manage file download and upload transfer jobs.

Import-Module BitsTransfer
mkdir -force c:\temp\BITSFILES
Start-BitsTransfer -Source https://aka.ms/WinServ16/StndPDF -Destination c:\temp\BITSFILES\WindowsServer2016.pdf

Windows PowerShell cmdlets for BITS provide much of the same functionality as the bitsadmin command-line utility. However, Windows PowerShell also does the following:

• Automates BITS tasks in an extensible and management-oriented scripting language.
• Provides a single tool for all job-related tasks.

Note

To use these commands, you must first import the BITS PowerShell module, using the Import-Module BitsTransfer command. For more information, see the following TechNet article.

For more information on using Windows Powershell, see Windows PowerShell.
