We currently have a scheduled task that runs a batch file, which then executes a .scp file on a 2016 Server. With permission restrictions and the requirement of cmd being unsupported we need to validate if we can execute an .scp (WS\_FTP) file. We need to have a powershell script be executed from scheduled tasks (as we have multiple tasks that run through the day). Is it possible to run: ftpscrpt -f \PATH\PATH\FILE.scp

The SCP file opens up WS\_FTP and then runs the applicalbe script.

You can run anything which runs in cmd.exe in PowerShell, PowerShell is just another shell but more powerful.
