# New-PSUPublishedFolder

## SYNOPSIS

Creates a new published folder in PowerShell Universal.

## SYNTAX

```
New-PSUPublishedFolder -RequestPath <String> -Path <String> [-Authentication] [-Role <String[]>]
 [-DefaultDocument <String[]>] [-Impersonation] [-Name <String>] [-ComputerName <String>] [-AppToken <String>]
 [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-UseDefaultCredentials] [-Integrated] [-TrustCertificate] [-Cookies]
 [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

Creates a new published folder in PowerShell Universal. Published folders allow you to host files in the PowerShell Universal web server. You can optionally configure authentication, authorization and default documents.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1

```powershell
New-PSUPublishedFolder -RequestPath '/images' -Path 'C:\images'
```

Publishes the images folder to the request path of images. You will be able to download images from this folder by using URLs like: <http://localhost:5000/images/myImage.png>

### Example 2

```powershell
New-PSUPublishedFolder -RequestPath '/website' -Path 'C:\website' -DefaultDocument "index.html"
```

Publishes the website folder and sets the default document to index.html. This allows the you to navigate to the URL <http://localhost:5000/website> and the web server will return the index.html file automatically. This is helpful for static websites.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell-universal/powershell-commands/new-psupublishedfolder.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
