I am using the command:
get -delete "/my-folder/prod/my-download/*" "C:\my-folder\prod\my-download\"
This correctly downloads the first folder and contents from the remote into the local folder. It then correctly deletes that folder and contents from the remote. But, it also gives me an error message saying that the folder does not exist and that it can't be deleted – this stops my script from running.
To be clear – all the files and the folder are deleted from the remote, but WinSCP errors saying the folder does not exist when trying to delete it.
This is a problem, because it means that WinSCP correctly downloads and deletes the first folder and its contents, but then errors and won't download the rest of the folders and contents.
Am I doing something wrong?
Log file entry below. In this example,
folder-1
and contents have been correctly downloaded to my local folder.
folder-1
and contents have then been correctly deleted from the remote server. However, WinSCP still gives me the error below and the script then fails.
