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

I have the following batch script:

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

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

RESOLVED: Delete remote files after sync / copy
This is the solution I implemented:
In my batch file, I call WinSCP twice, invoking two different scripts.
The first script does my local sync:
Then, in my batch file, I *move* those files to a permanent location, outside of the current hierarchy.
Now I invoke the second script which does a REMOTE synch with the delete option:
Now I have all of my files with directory structure in tact, and the server has been properly cleaned.
My batch file looks something like this (simplified):

You need to use a single
See examples:
https://beta.winscp.net/eng/docs/scriptcommand_synchronize
synchronize command, like:
synchronize remote -nopreservetime -nopermissions -delte "C:\Users\Local\Directory" "/remote/directory"

I am pretty new to scripting in general, and I did not want to create another topic when I believe what I am trying to do is very similar.
I have attempted to write a script that will synchronize a local folder with a remote folder. After the synchronization, the files in the local folder should be deleted.
Here is what I wrote:
