Copying binary file to the target host using Add-Content command taking very long time #160

Description

Trying to copy a binary file(40 mb) to the target host using Add-Content command taking very long time because of the command length limit. Any suggestions if there is a way to stream.

Below is the code:

long size = Files.size(path);
final int BUFFER_SIZE = 4096; // 4KB
if(size > BUFFER_SIZE){
    try (InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(inputFile)) {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
        int bytesRead = -1;
        int offset = 0;
        while ((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
            var content = new String(Base64.getEncoder().encode(buffer));
            tool.executeCommand("powershell -Command \"Add-Content '"+targetFile+"' -Value ([System.Convert]::FromBase64String('"+content+"')) -Encoding Byte\"");
        }

    } catch (IOException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}
