Execute commands remote with PSSession

Question

Hi,
I am trying to write a script that is executed on Server A but connects to Server B and executes the commands with remote Powershell.
I am currently just trying some simple commands since it's the first time I have tried the remote Powershell function. I connect to a server which is working fine, but if I do a simple command like:
$FoundFiles = Get-ChildItem - Path "C:\Temp"
it returns an error telling me that it cannot find the path. If I do the same and use "C:\Windows" it works.
If I enter the commands manually in a console everything also works as expected.

If you do this:
Enter-PSSession -Name TestConnection
$tmpFiles = get-childitem -path "C:\temp"
you will be running  from the remote system and c:\temp will have to be on the remote system.  Either copy the file there or use invoke.
Spend some time testing the commands until you sort out how remoting works.   When you enter a sessin your prompt changes to tell you you are now running on the remote system and all references are to the remote system.
This works the same but references are local and execution is remote:
$session=New-PSSession  -ComputerName Servername
invoke-command -file c:\temp\script.ps1 -Session $session -ArgumentList '-param1 xxxx','-param2 vvvvv'
I can also alter the session:
PS C:\scripts> invoke-command -command {$newvar='hello remote'} -Session $session
PS C:\scripts> invoke-command -command {$newvar} -Session $session
hello remote
Notice the session is retained. I can load modules in one command or file and use them in another:
We can also use -AsJob for very long running scripts and invoke against a list of computers.
it is not just a telnet like session but a full remote targetable session.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
