Upload file to SharePoint Document library using powershell

Question

I want to upload the same file to multiple site collection with the same hierarchy in all the site collection using powershell and the with functionality auto checkin/checkout.

I have able to upload the file in SharePoint. Below is the code. :

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") > $null # create the Variable Path and Pass the source folder path $path = “D:\ABC\DEF\26Nov\”; # create the Variable destination and pass the URL of the SharePoint List $destination = "complete URL will be mentioned here"; # Store the current user default credentials in the Variable Credentials $credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultCredentials; # Create the object of the Webclient $webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient; # Pass the user credentials $webclient.Credentials = $credentials; Get-ChildItem Get-ChildItem $path | ForEach-Object { $webclient.UploadFile($destination + “/” + $_.Name, “PUT”, $_.FullName)}; 

For Each loop will upload all of the files one by one onto the destination using the UploadFile method

By This code the file is upload but its checked, out . I want it to be checkin automatically and incase if file is there the auto-checkout and then checkin.

Please help me on this, as I have already spent 2 days in it. But nothing happens Thanks much for your support

Using $SPFile.Level -eq [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileLevel]::Checkout check the state of file and then checked in it.

function CheckInFile ($SPFile) { $x=$SPFile.ServerRelativeUrl write-host "file level" $SPFile.Level -ForegroundColor Green if ($SPFile.Level -eq [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileLevel]::Checkout) { write-host " Checking-in file" $x $SPFile.CheckIn("Checkin", [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPCheckInType]::MajorCheckin) } else { write-host " No Check-in needed for the file" $x } }
