Ensure-File

This is generated from the built in components of BuildMaster 2024.0, and may be different than what you have installed (especially if you have extensions); go to [Gear Icon] -> Administration -> Operations within your BuildMaster instance to see exactly what operations are available.

Ensures the existence of a file on a server.

Script usage:

Ensure-File(
	[Text: <text>],
	[ReadOnly: <true/false>],
	Name: <text>,
	[Attributes: <integer>],
	[Exists: <true/false>],
	[Modified: <DateTime>]
);

This operation may be prefixed with Files::, although this is a built-in namespace and isn't really necessary.
