Delete a remote file after successful sync

Hi there,

I want to sync a local source with a remote root destination. After the files are successfully synchronized I want to delete a specific file from remote destination: lock.pid.
I have some large files for which the synchronization takes some time, so I thought I would add a file to delete after the copy is done successfully.
I have the following batch script: 

option batch abort
option confirm off
option echo off
option transfer binary
 
open sftp://user@host -privatekey="D:\folder\key.ppk" -hostkey="ssh-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
 
synchronize remote source -delete="lock.pid"
 
close


The synchronization works, but after that lock.pid still on remote server

Re: how to synchronize files from local to remote and delete local files in winscp

Thanks Martin, it worked. 
put -delete SOURCE DESTINATION

I was trying to use both synchronize, put and delete at the same time, that's why it was not working earlier.

In the link that you shared, they have given example to synchronize remote to local and delete contents of remote. But i want the other way round - synchronize local to remote and delete local. Can you also plz test on your end and help me with the correct command?

Just use put -delete as the article suggests.
