Executed this cmd: Set-SFTPContent -SFTPSession $ThisSession -Path "C:/Users/satya/satya.txt" -Value "testData" the file does not exist in the dir "C:/Users/satya/". It has to create a new file with the name "satya.txt" . Getting below exception though file gets created at the specified dir.

Did you create the file first with new-sftpitem?

No, but how the file gets created in the same specified dir ?

It does a writeall if not appended. Dont know how renci.ssh handles it in the library. It is raising a file not found error. Why does it raise the error and still create the file I dont know. Will add code to check for the file first and if -force is use create it sometime this week or next

Found the culprit . Get-SFTPLocation -SFTPSession $ThisSession O/P : /C:/Users/satya why it returns one extra slash before C: even it is a windows machine.

I was trying with -Path "C:/Users/satya"
