Problem downloading file using Powershell - powershell

Question

I have this simple script that works on a laptop:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol
[enum]::GetNames([Net.SecurityProtocolType])
$url = "https://www.contextures.com/SampleData.zip"
wget -Uri $url -OutFile "C:\temp\temp.zip"
But when I'm trying to run it on a server I'm always getting this error:
wget : The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure
channel.
Any ideas what might be causing this? Any help would be appreciated.
I already tried this and still getting the same error message:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Answer 1

Set it to TLS 1.2:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Answer 2

You can give a try with this example while adding
$AllProtocols = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Ssl3,Tls,Tls11,Tls12';
cls
$Folder = "$Env:Temp\DownloadFolder\"
# We create a SubFolder Named "DownloadFolder" in the temporary file %Temp% if it doesn't exists yet !
If ((Test-Path -Path $Folder) -eq 0) { New-Item -Path $Folder -ItemType Directory | Out-Null }
$urls=#('https://www.contextures.com/SampleData.zip',
'https://cdn2.unrealengine.com/Fortnite%2FBoogieDown_GIF-1f2be97208316867da7d3cf5217c2486da3c2fe6.gif'
)
$start_time = Get-Date
$AllProtocols = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Ssl3,Tls,Tls11,Tls12';
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = $AllProtocols;
$i = 0
foreach($url in $urls)
{
$i = $i + 1
$output = $Folder + $url.Split("/")[-1]
Try {
Write-Host "$i - Downloading" $output.Split("\")[-1] from $url
(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url,$output)
}
Catch
{
Write-Host "Error in : " $url -ForegroundColor Red -BackgroundColor Yellow
Write-Host "Message: [$($_.Exception.Message)"] -ForegroundColor Red -BackgroundColor Yellow
$i = $i - 1
}
}
Write-Output "Time taken: $((Get-Date).Subtract($start_time).Seconds) second(s) to download $i files"
