Powershell: Using Copy-Item from Linux (Ubuntu 16.04.2) To Windows (2016 Server Core)
I'm wondering, since SSH remoting from Linux to Windows is available in some form now, if it will be possible eventually to copy files from Linux to Windows.
I've got the remoting to work very nicely following this excellent guide https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/tree/master/demos/SSHRemoting
Steps to reproduce
$session = New-PSSession -HostName remotewinservercore2016.azure.com -UserName foo
Copy-Item -Path ./foo.text -Destination C:\users\foo\ -Verbose -ToSession $session
Expected behavior
Actual behavior
Copy-Item : Unable to load DLL 'api-ms-win-core-file-l1-2-2.dll': The specified module or one of its dependencies could not be found.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

Actually, it appears that the file is actually transferred! (I didn't realize this at first, sorry). But the error still occurs.

@PaulHigin Could you please comment the Issue?

This is a known issue where copy-item is referencing non-existent dlls. I don't recall the exact reason but as you see it doesn't prevent the file from being copied. I think this can be fixed fairly easily but has not been high priority. I don't remember if there is an issue tracking this so lets keep this issue open. I'll update the tags.

@PaulHigin Thank you! This must definitely be corrected before 6.0.
Once we remove Windows Dlls from Unix distrib, it may be easier to detect such problems.

Still does not work in PowerShell Core 6.0.2 (copy from Windows to Windows over SSH).

Works fine in PowerShell Core 6.1.0 and 6.2.0-preview.1.

It works in PowerShell Core 6.1.0 when I copy a file from client (Windows 10) to both servers (Windows Server 2012 R2).
However, it crashes when I copy a file between the 2 servers.
PS C:\TEMP> $s = New-PSSession -UserName Administrator -HostName example.com
PS C:\TEMP> Copy-Item .\CopyItem.txt C:\temp -ToSession $s
Copy-Item : Unable to load DLL 'api-ms-win-core-file-l1-2-2.dll' or one of its dependencies: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

@dnataraj can you check if you have all the .Net Core pre-reqs installed? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/windows-prerequisites?tabs=netcore21
