Copy-Item -ToSession from WIndows to Linux corrupts the transferred file

[iga1976]

Having the following environment:

Linux OS is SLES 12-SP2 x86_64
tony@linux-31cz:~> /opt/omi/bin/omiserver -v
/opt/omi/bin/omiserver: OMI-1.5.0-0 - Mon Jul 23 09:07:48 PDT 2018
tony@linux-31cz:~> rpm -qa | grep psrp
omi-psrp-server-1.4.2-2.x86_64
tony@linux-31cz:~> rpm -qa | grep powershell
powershell-6.1.0-1.rhel.7.x86_64

On Windows 2016 with the default Powershell

PS C:\Users\Administrator.ADIDAS> $host


Name             : ConsoleHost
Version          : 5.1.14393.2155

Runspace         : System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.LocalRunspace

On Windows i create a remote powershell session to Linux SLES, and the Remote copy from Windows to Linux fails:

I am attaching the screens with the diffs. I noticed they could vary.
