Trying to use BitsTransfer (Powershell) or bitsadmin to transfer files when booted into WinRE

Question

Trying to use BitsTransfer (Powershell) or bitsadmin to transfer files when booted into WinRE.

I am able to get the file using invoke-webrequest for the same paths. None of the Bits commands give much information other than "The device is not ready". My searches only return information on Windows update.

I have tried restarting services.

When I run Start-BitsTransfer I get:

VERBOSE: Performing the operation "New" on target "BitsTransfer". Start-BitsTransfer : The device is not ready. The device is not ready. At line:1 char:1

• Start-BitsTransfer "http://...Source...

•   + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Start-BitsTransfer], FileNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.IO.FileNotFoundException,Microsoft.BackgroundIntelligentTransfer.Management.NewBitsTransferCommand 
  
  
  

Get-BitsTransfer command gives me:

get-bitstransfer : The device is not ready. The device is not ready. At line:1 char:1

• get-bitstransfer

•   + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-BitsTransfer], FileNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.IO.FileNotFoundException,Microsoft.BackgroundIntelligentTransfer.Management.GetBitsTransfer
  
  
  

BitsAdmin.exe gives me:

BITSADMIN version 3.0 BITS administration utility. (C) Copyright Microsoft Corp.

Unable to connect to BITS - 0x80070015 The device is not ready.
