Many Powershell enthusiasts don't realize that when they are using commands like New-PsSession and streaming pipelines to a powershell runspace on a remote machine, they are actually writing a binary message wrapped in a SOAP envelope that leverages a protocol with the namesake of Windows Vista. Not much over a year ago I certainly wasn't. This set of knowledge all began with needing to transfer files from a linux machine to a windows machine. In a pure linux world there is a well known tool for this called SCP. In Windows we map drives or stream bytes to a remote powershell session. How do we get a file (or command for that matter) from one of these platforms to the other?
