Small files that need to be downloaded from internal repositories?
Additional portable tools , executable that are required for the scripts to do, we could grab them with these methods.
We could use the cmdlet
Method 1:
Invoke-WebRequest
$PuttyDownloadUrl = "https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/w64/putty.exe"
$LocalDlPath = "C:\runspace\Putty.exe"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $PuttyDownloadUrl -OutFile $LocalDlPath
test-path C:\runspace\Putty.exe
Method 2:
Using the .NET class System.Net.WebClient
$PuttyDownloadUrl = "https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/w64/putty.exe"
$LocalDlPath = "C:\runspace\Putty.exe"
$dlObject = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$dlObject.DownloadFile($PuttyDownloadUrl, $LocalDlPath)
test-path C:\runspace\Putty.exe
Happy Scripting!!
