With Powershell we can do FTP transaction really easy. The best feature from Powershell is we can use any dll library in our script, we can import .Net libraries and etc into our script. The script below is simple FTP to upload file to FTP server. In this script I’m using System.Net.WebClient to handle the file transfer.

$ftpuser = "user"
$ftppass = "12345"
$ftpserver = "localhost"
$file = "C:\test.txt"
$filenewname = "test.txt"
 
$webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$ftp = "ftp://"+$ftpuser+":"+$ftppass+"@"+$ftpserver+"/"+$filenewname
$uri = New-Object System.Uri($ftp)
 
$webclient.UploadFile($uri,$file)

It’s pretty easy to sort an output from ls or Get-ChildItem using powershell, you can sort the output by name, length, and date.

Sort By Name

Get-ChildItem C:\ | sort -property Name

Sort By Size

Get-ChildItem C:\ | sort -property Length

Sort By Date Modified

Get-ChildItem C:\ | sort -property LastWriteTime

You also can reorder the sort output with “-descending”
example :

Get-ChildItem C:\ | sort -property LastWriteTime -descending
