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.
