$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity $url

$files = Get-ChildItem -Path "D:\Manju" -Force -Recurse
foreach ($file in $files) {
$stream = $file.OpenRead()
$done = $list.RootFolder.Files.Add($file.Name, $stream, $true)
Write-Host $done.Name "Uploaded into the site" -BackgroundColor Green
}

$ErrorMessage = $_.Exception.Message
Write-Host $ErrorMessage

$list.Update();
Problem
I want to upload the same file to multiple site collections with the same hierarchy in all the site collections. I want to use PowerShell and include auto check-in/check-out functionality. I have able to upload the file in SharePoint. Below is the code. : ``` [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") > $null # create the Variable Path and Pass the source folder path $path = “D:\ABC\DEF\26Nov\”; # create the Variable destination and pass the URL of the SharePoint List $destination = "complete URL of File will be mentioned here"; # Store the current user default credentials in the Variable Credentials $credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultCredentials; # Create the object of the Webclient $webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient; # Pass the user credentials $webclient.Credentials = $credentials; Get-ChildItem # “For Each” loop will upload all of the files one by one onto the destination using the UploadFile method Get-ChildItem $path | ForEach-Object { $webclient.UploadFile($destination + “/” + $_.Name, “PUT”, $_.FullName)}; ``` By this code the file is uploaded but checked out. I want it to be checked in automatically. In case the file is there then first automatically check-out and then check in.
