Powershell - Returning/Transferring an object from ForEach-Object

Question

I am currently able to transfer the file .. but somehow the content is being left out. I think that object is not being returned properly but cannot figure it out.

$folder1 = "<external server>"
$folder2 = "<local path>"

# Get all files under $folder1, filter out directories
$firstFolder = Get-JFSChildItem $folder1 | Where-Object { -not $_.PsIsContainer }

    $firstFolder | ForEach-Object {
    # Check if the file, from $folder1, exists with the same path under $folder2
    If (!(Test-Path($_.FullName.Replace($folder1, $folder2))))
    {
        $fileSuffix = $_.FullName.TrimStart($folder1)
        Write-Host "$fileSuffix is only in folder1"
        Receive-JFSItem $fileSuffix -destination $folder2
    }

}

Error: Receive-JFSItem : No such file; No such file.

Error: Receive-JFSItem <<<< $fileSuffix -destination $folder2

You are using TrimStart wrongly. TrimStart accepts a set of symbols to trim from the argument, and you expect to trim the folder name as an exact string from its beginning. You should instead replace $folder1 with empty string in $_.fullname.

If (!(Test-Path($_.FullName.Replace($folder1, $folder2))))
{
    $fileSuffix = $_.FullName.Replace($folder1,"")
    Write-Host "$fileSuffix is only in folder1"
    Receive-JFSItem $fileSuffix -destination $folder2
}

thanks but content of the files is still not being transferred. Error: Receive-JFSItem : No such file; No such file. Error: + Receive-JFSItem <<<< $fileSuffix -destination $folder2 Error: + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Receive-JFSItem], SftpException Error: + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Rebex.Net.SftpException,MVPSI.Commands.ReceiveJFSItemCommand

If so, read manuals on Receive-JFSItem better, perhaps it demands full name of the file, and you are trying to feed it only base name. Try Receive-JFSItem $_.fullName -destination $folder2, or just $_.
