Answer 1

Can you tell us a bit more? Will you be doing this from a SharePoint server or a remote PC. Is this for SharePoint on premise or SharePoint Online?

Here's a one line PowerShell solution that can be run on the SharePoint server:

(Get-SPWeb "http://server/sites/yoursite").GetFolder("Team Documents").Files.Add("Team Documents/myTestFile.txt", (Get-ChildItem "C:\test\myTestFile.txt").OpenRead(), $True)

There are several more examples here: http://techtrainingnotes.blogspot.com/2015/09/upload-file-to-sharepoint-using.html

Hi Badal,

We can use the PowerShell below to upload the zip file to document library. The "DL" is my document library name, please change it to your document library name.

# Set the variables 
$WebURL = "http://sp2010:6262"
$DocLibName = "DL" 
$FilePath = "C:\Temp\Test1.zip"


# Get a variable that points to the folder 
$Web = Get-SPWeb $WebURL 
$List = $Web.GetFolder($DocLibName) 
$Files = $List.Files 

# Get just the name of the file from the whole path 
$FileName = $FilePath.Substring($FilePath.LastIndexOf("\")+1) 

# Load the file into a variable 
$File= Get-ChildItem $FilePath

# Upload it to SharePoint 
$Files.Add($DocLibName +"/" + $FileName,$File.OpenRead(),$false) 
$web.Dispose()

Best Regards,

Dennis
