Powershell Sharepoint snapin when not on the sharepoint server

Question

I am new to both powershell and sharepoint, and I need to make script to automate the removal and uploading of attachments from outlook to sharepoint. I have easily completed the first part of extracting the attachment, however the uploading to sharepoint has become difficult do to my company's rules. As I understand to use sharepoint cmdlets you need to add the sharepoint snap-in but I am unable to do so because I dont have access to the sharepoint server. Is there anyway to the snapin without being on the server and if not can I upload it another way?

Answer 1

You can't add the SP snap in unless the server is a SP server. Instead, use a webservice/webclient approach to upload the file. Something like this should work depending on your SP version: http://blog.sharepoint-voodoo.net/?p=205
