PowerShell File Copy & Directory Check
<# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So ... a massive FTP server with a huge Dir structure needed coped to new server.
Dir structure was initially copied over for testing and put in production.
Somehow... someone still had access to the old server via FTP and client/s were uploading files.
My task was to create a script that would copy file from old server to the new server.
Seems pretty simple but someone had changed the Dir structure/s
So now I had to copy files from point A to Point B but only to matching Dir on new server
