SharePoint document upload using PowerShell REMOTE

Question

this question is not just about using PowerShell to upload document, but focus on "remote".

I have 2 servers now,

one SharePoint farm server
one task server dedicated to run script against SharePoint farm remotely.

We're using CredSSP to do authentication and until now all tasks working well, like manipulating List/Item. but upload document is a blocker here.

The file to be uploaded is at SharePoint server locally.

The script block inside invoke-command works well if I directly run it inside SharePoint server

used script:

$credsspSession=New-PSSession -cn $SPServer-Authentication Credssp -Credential $credentail
icm -session $credsspSession {
    Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.sharepoint.powershell"
    $spweb=Get-SPWeb "https://siteURL"
    $file=Get-Item "filename"
    $spFolder=$spweb.GetFolder("FolderName")
    $fileCollection=$spFolder.Files
    $fileCollection.Add("FolderName/file.name",$file.OpenRead(),$false)

}

the error messgae reported:

PSMessageDetails      :

As a result, this is identified as a "Symantec" issue, it's blocking my remote powershell to upload document. After installation of "Symantec Patch"(provided by Symantec, installed by my colleague), issue resolved.
