Thank you. The if...then statement is working now.

The script did not crash as it does without the log entries but I still see the errors in the logs. I guess I'm wondering if I am checking for the existence of the file correctly?

Thank you for reviewing the log files and providing any insight you might have.

I have the following script in Powershell:

#variables for filename
$strDate = Get-Date -format "yyyyMMdd"
$strFileName = "ug_expected_" + $strDate + ".txt"
$n = 1

#settings forftp to Slate and grab filename


$localToFTPPath = "$strFileName"
$localFromFTPPath = "$strFileName"
$remotePickupDir = "/outgoing/"
$remoteDropDir = "/incoming/"
$fullFilePathName = "/outgoing/$strFileName"

#email message settings

$From = "xxxxxx@XXXXX.edu"
$To = "xxxxxx@XXXXX.edu"
$Subject = "SlateFileGetUG.ps1 Error"
$SMTPServer = "XXXXX.XXXXXX.edu"
$SMTPPort = "25"

Add-Type -Path "WinSCPnet.dll"


#Setup session options
$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{
Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp
HostName ="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
UserName ="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
Password ="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
sshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 35:7a:60:48:cf:4f:bc:d1:f1:4e:92:dc:ea:02:18:3b"
}

$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session


#Connect
$session.Open($sessionOptions)

# Download files
$transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions
$transferOptions.TransferMode = [WinSCP.TransferMode]::Ascii

try
{
if ($session.FileExists($fullFilePathName))
{
Write-Host "File $fullFilePathname exists"
$transferResult = $session.GetFiles($fullFilePathName, "c:\slate\", $False, $transferOptions)
$transferResult.Check()
$session.Dispose()
exit 0
}
else
{
Write-Host "File $fullFilePathName does not exist"
$session.Dispose()
exit 1
}
}
catch
{

$session.Dispose()
Write-Host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)"

#Email message
$Body = "Import process encountered an exeception! " + $($_.Exception.Message)`

Send-MailMessage -From $From -to $To -Subject $Subject -Body $Body -SmtpServer $SMTPServer -port $SMTPPort

exit 2
}


The if then statement doesn't work. I get an error message and the script falls into the catch section of the code.

The error message is: Exception claling "FileExists" with "1" argument(s): "'.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 18, position 28."

This only happens when the file does not exist on the remote server.

Kinda makes the if/then void of purpose.
