It's possible that the issue you're experiencing with the array of PSFTP commands not working on some Windows devices is due to differences in the versions of PowerShell or PSFTP that are installed on those devices.

Here are some possible reasons why this may be happening:

  1. PowerShell version: Some versions of PowerShell may have compatibility issues with PSFTP or may not support certain features used in the PSFTP commands. Make sure that all Windows devices that are running the PSFTP commands have the same version of PowerShell installed.

  2. PSFTP version: Make sure that all Windows devices have the same version of PSFTP installed. If some devices have an older version of PSFTP installed, it may not support all of the PSFTP commands that are being used.

  3. Environment variables: Check that the PSFTP executable is in the system's PATH environment variable so that it can be executed from any directory. Alternatively, specify the full path to the PSFTP executable in the PSFTP commands.

  4. User permissions: Make sure that the user running the PSFTP commands has the necessary permissions to access the PSFTP executable and to perform the actions specified in the commands.

  5. Network configuration: Check that the network configuration of the devices is the same and that they have access to the same resources. This could include firewalls, network security policies, or other settings that may affect the ability to connect to the target server.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can try running the PSFTP commands manually on each device to see if any errors or warnings are displayed. You can also try updating the versions of PowerShell and PSFTP on each device to ensure that they are all running the same version. Additionally, you can check the system logs or event viewer for any errors or warnings related to PSFTP or PowerShell.
