There are no built-in FTP commands in PowerShell, but you can easily download and install a free extension that provides the missing commands. Just run this line:
PS> Install-Module -Name Posh-SSH -Scope CurrentUser
If PowerShell cannot find the Install-Module command, then you are most likely not using the latest version of PowerShell (5.1). Please update your PowerShell installation, or add the Microsoft’s “PowerShellGet” module which provides the Install-Module command.
The command downloads the Posh-SSH module from the public PowerShell Gallery. Once you approve the download, here are your new commands:
