# On the receiving end
$Base64 = Get-Clipboard -Format Text -TextFormatType Text
Set-Content -Value $([System.Convert]::FromBase64String($Base64)) -Encoding Byte -Path binaryfile.zip

# Paste the Base64 encoded contents in a text file manually:
$Base64 = Get-Content –Path binaryfile.xxx.base64_encoded.txt
Set-Content -Value $([System.Convert]::FromBase64String($Base64)) -Encoding Byte -Path binaryfile.zip
