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 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.
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.
