I updated the biz.dfch.PS.Storebox.Api for being able to have file transfers to and from Ctera (Storebox) via its REST API. There you will also find the link to the NuGet package and the Github repository.

With it you can get a directory listing, download and upload a file. It uses our logging module as well as the generic ‘Invoke-CteraRestCommand’. There is an issue with writing an error to the log while doing a delete which you can safely ignore. Have fun …
