Instead, use the System. HttpClient class. It appears that the WebClient class is obsolete, and the new class that Microsoft is endorsing is the HttpClient class.
The next section talks about using the HttpClient class in PowerShell to download files from the web. Like the WebClient class, you need to create first the System. Refer to the comments above each line to know what each line of code does. In situations where downloading a file requires authentication, you need to add the credential to the HttpClient object.
To include a credential to the file download request, create a new System. HttpClientHandler object to store the credentials. You can copy the code below and run it in PowerShell to test. Or you can also run it as a PowerShell script. In this example, the code is saved as download-file. At the start, the directory only has the script file in it.

This Forum is for Scripting Questions Rather than script requests. Whish is why we write manual and publish tutorials. When you clearly show no desire to even try writing a line of code then you are not asking for knowledge but are asking for free work. Please learn PowerShell and ask technical questions. Using the old "I am to new to know anything … please help me" ploy is unprofessional and unfair to the volunteers here.
Also not that you are not fooling anyone with this statement. You didn't ask "how" you asked for someone to do it for you.
