@kdvbhuvankumar Almost there my friend! Check the script below. I hope it helps you take the next step!

Grtz, Manfred de Laat

# Get the Files
$items = Get-ChildItem -path D:\TFTP-Root | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)}
 
# Create a mailbody
$mailbody = "" 
foreach($item in $items){
    $mailbody += $mailbody + "File: " + $item.FullName + "`n" + "Size (KB): " + $item.Length + "`r`n`n"
}

# Add the mailbody 
Send-MailMessage -To 'xxxxx@gmail.com' -SmtpServer  'smtp.com' -Subject 'Files and Sizes' -Body $mailbody -From "yyyyy@gmail.com"

You cannot send an object as mail body, you need to convert to   string    [[-Body] <string>]

$emailObject = Get-ChildItem -path D:\TFTP-Root | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-1)}

$emailcsvtxt= $emailObject |select Mode ,LastWriteTime ,Length ,Name|ConvertTo-Csv
