I've got a PowerShell function Download-File
, which uses WebClient.DownloadFile
-- hence the name.
When I attempt to turn my .ps1
script into a .psm1
module, PowerShell warns me that "Download" is not in the list of recommended verbs.
What's a good alternative? Get-
seems to be about getting properties, rather than contents (apart from Get-Content
, oddly). Receive-
seems a bit too passive for my liking (i.e. the script blocks until the information is sent) -- which doesn't fit well.
Ideas?
For me, 'Get' is the most natural verb. It gets everthing, not just properties. For the noun I would use something like 'WebFile', you can easily guess what you get and where it is coming from.
