I have created a WorkFlow to create a document populating it with data from a list. I now need a powershell script that can copy the file in the document library to a file share on our server.
I am new to using powershell in SharePoint, is this possible with a script?
You can use this method.
$fileUrl = url for file on sharepoint
$destinationfolder = destinationFolder
function ProcessURL {
param($fileUrl,$destinationfolder)
$pathToTry = "http://www.mysharepointsite.com/somesite"
$site = New-Object -Type Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite -ArgumentList $pathToTry
$web = $site.OpenWeb()
$file = $web.GetFile($fileUrl)
$destinationfolder = $destination + "/" + $folder.Url
if (!(Test-Path -path $destinationfolder))
{
$dest = New-Item $destinationfolder -type directory
}
#Download file
$binary = $file.OpenBinary()
$stream = New-Object System.IO.FileStream($destinationfolder + "/" + $file.Name), Create
$writer = New-Object System.IO.BinaryWriter($stream)
$writer.write($binary)
$writer.Close()
#Delete file by deleting parent SPListItem
$list.Items.DeleteItemById($file.Item.Id)
$web.Close()
$site.Close()
}
CredentialsCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials. SPSite & SPWeb must be appropriately defined, above. It should be: $pathToTry = "http://mysharepointsite.com/somesite" $site = New-Object -Type Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite -ArgumentList $pathToTry $web = $site.OpenWeb() and then you need to close them at the end: $web.Close() $site.Close()
