PowerShell 7.3 - how to to Edit Remote Files Using Invoke-Command with Credential Parameter
I'm trying to figure out I'm maintaining legacy code that I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer... I am trying to edit a text file on a remote machine using PowerShell 7.3 and the `Invoke-Command` cmdlet. I want to run a script that replaces a specific string in the file, but I keep working with issues related to permission. My command looks like this: ```powershell $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName RemotePC -Credential (Get-Credential) Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { (Get-Content 'C:\path\to\file.txt') -replace 'oldString', 'newString' | Set-Content 'C:\path\to\file.txt' } Remove-PSSession -Session $session ``` When I execute this, I receive the following behavior: ``` Set-Content : Access to the path 'C:\path\to\file.txt' is denied. ``` I have ensured that the user credentials I am using have write permissions for the file, and I even tried to run the PowerShell session as an administrator. Additionally, I verified that the file is not read-only and that there are no other processes locking the file. I also tried using `-Credential` parameters directly within `Invoke-Command`, but I still encounter the same access denied scenario. Here’s the alternative attempt I made: ```powershell Invoke-Command -ComputerName RemotePC -Credential (Get-Credential) -ScriptBlock { (Get-Content 'C:\path\to\file.txt') -replace 'oldString', 'newString' | Set-Content 'C:\path\to\file.txt' } ``` This results in the same `Access to the path... is denied` behavior. I suspect it might be related to the way permissions are handled over remote sessions or that I might need to adjust some settings in the remote machine's PowerShell configuration. Any insights on how to successfully edit files on a remote machine would be greatly appreciated. This is part of a larger API I'm building. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. I recently upgraded to Powershell 3.10. I'd be grateful for any help. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 using the latest version of Powershell. This is happening in both development and production on Ubuntu 22.04. Any ideas how to fix this?
