[YuriySamorodov]

Reporting an Issue or Missing Feature

I am encountering an error when using the Copy-PnPFile cmdlet in PnP PowerShell. The error message indicates an "Unknown Error" with the code -1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UnknownError.

Expected behavior

When executing the Copy-PnPFile cmdlet, I expect the specified file to be successfully copied from the source location to the destination location within SharePoint.

Actual behavior

Instead of the file being copied, I receive the following error message:

{"odata.error":{"code":"-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UnknownError","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Unknown Error"}}}

Steps to reproduce behavior

1. Connect to the source SharePoint site using Connect-PnPOnline.
2. Make sure folder creation is enabled for the target library

Set-PnPList -Identity Documents -EnableFolderCreation:$true

4. Connect to the target SharePoint site using Connect-PnPOnline.
5. Execute the Copy-PnPFile cmdlet with the appropriate source and destination URLs.Example script:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://your-sharepoint-site-url" -Credentials (Get-Credential)
Copy-PnPFile -SourceUrl "/sites/source-site/Documents/TestFolder" -TargetUrl "/sites/destination-site/Documents"
