# New-PSUPublishedFolder

New-PSUPublishedFolder publishes a local folder through the PowerShell Universal web server, with optional authentication and default documents.

## 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
