PowerScp is a PowerShell module based on assembly of popular software by by Martin Prikryl WinSCP which aims to implement all features available in WinSCP GUI in an easy to use PowerShell module.

PowerScp was born out of necessity to create an automation framework to transfer files via SFTP, with WinSCP being the de-facto standard for SCP/SFTP transfers in the Windows world I used its assembly to implement same functions in PowerShell.

When I initially started working on the proiject my need was simply to have an easy way to transfer fiels to a remote SFTP Server but as I started working on this I saw the potential to implement additional features and cmdlets which lead to the creation of the module as it is today.
