Here's an example of how to use the WebClient class to download a file:

The Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet is a powerful tool for downloading files from the internet. It allows you to specify a URL, credentials, and other options for downloading files.

$url = "http://example.com/file.txt" $outputPath = "C:\Downloads\file.txt"

$webResponse = $webRequest.GetResponse() $stream = $webResponse.GetResponseStream() $fileStream = [System.IO.File]::Create($outputPath)

$credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($username, $password) $webRequest = [System.Net.HttpWebRequest]::Create($url) $webRequest.Credentials = $credentials

If you need to download files from a site that requires authentication or uses a proxy server, you'll need to modify your code accordingly.

For example, to download a file from a site that requires basic authentication, you can use the following code:

$stream.CopyTo($fileStream) $fileStream.Close()
