What are cmdlets?

Windows PowerShell® has the concept of cmdlets. A cmdlet is a simple, single-function command that manipulates objects and is designed to be used in combination with other cmdlets.

If you already had Windows PowerShell installed on your computer before you installed Secure Copy®, the Secure Copy cmdlets were automatically installed and registered with Windows PowerShell.

The examples in this section show you leverage the cmdlets available in Secure Copy. These cmdlets allow you to perform some of the functions of Secure Copy in an automation environment. The cmdlets also can be of great use in any environment where a repetitive process involving Secure Copy is needed.

The complete set of Secure Copy PowerShell cmdlets is as follows.

Table 28. Secure Copy cmdlets for use with Windows PowerShell

Cmdlet	Module	Reference
Start-SecureCopyJob	SCYPowerShellCore	Starting a copy job
Remove-SecureCopyJob	SCYPowerShellCore	Removing a copy job
Start-FileSystemStatistics	FileSystemStatisticsPowerShell	Running the File System Statistics Analyzer

NOTE: All cmdlets should be run while logged on as an Administrator. The Secure Copy cmdlets should be used only by those familiar with Windows PowerShell.
