Avoid that Powershell autocomplete the path

Question

I want to use a Linux path in a Powershell script. I want to write sth in a file with this Command:

Invoke-SshCommand -InvokeOnAll -Command "echo ""$LogFileContent"" > '/vol/Systemcheck/nsclient_ini_Update/Log_nsclient_ini.html'

But I got an error where he said that he can't find the path C:/vol/Systemcheck/nsclient_ini_Update/Log_nsclient_ini.html How can I avoid that PS autocomplete the C:?

Your file redirection is outside the command you want to run on the remote machine. Therefore, you get PowerShell's interpretation of the path. You are giving an absolute path here (as indicated by the leading / or \) which results in referring to the root directory of the current volume on Windows. If your current working directory is somewhere on C:, then that's what you get.

This may be because you're missing the closing " at the end of the command line. But truth to be told, I think in that case PowerShell would normally just error out with a parsing error.
