send file to remote folder powershell - powershell

Question

this is what i would use for copying without asking for password, because i want to schedule this script
$Source = "d:\test\myZipFile.zip"
$Dest = "\\REMOTE_ip\D$\test"
$Username = "Administrator"
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString "PasswordOFRemotePC" -AsPlainText -Force
$mycreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($Username, $Password)
New-PSDrive -Name J -PSProvider FileSystem -Root $Dest -Credential $mycreds -Persist
Copy-Item -Path $Source -Destination "d:\test\myZipFile1.zip"
But it gives me error
New-PSDrive : The network resource type is not correct At D:\test\copy.ps1:7 char:1
New-PSDrive -Name J -PSProvider FileSystem -Root $Dest -Credential $m ...
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (J:PSDriveInfo) [New-PSDrive], Win32Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotMapNetworkDrive,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewPSDriveCommand

Answer 1

Going by the title of your question, I think you are overdoing this.
In your scheduled task, decide which user account should be running the script. That user should have Read access to the machine's local D:\Test folder and must have Write/Modify permissions to the remote path \\REMOTE_ip\D$\test.
You can set the task so that particular user does not even have to be logged in.
The executable to run is PowerShell.exe and the arguments are -File <PathToTheScript.ps1>
(for that, the task-running user must have Read & Execute permissions on the location of the script file)
The script itself can then be as simple as:
$Source = "d:\test\myZipFile.zip"
$Dest = "\\REMOTE_ip\D$\test"
Copy-Item -Path $Source -Destination $Dest -Force
