[quote="bmsitservices@outlook.com"]Hi,

Below is the script we use to copy files it then moves the files to another directory for a clients ERP software to upload
[code]@batch@
@echo off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^
  /log="C:\temp\WinSCP.log" /ini=nul ^
  /command ^
    "open sftp://SFTP SERVER DETAILS ARE HERE"
    "get -filemask=|processed/; /production/fermexdistributors/fresho_orders/*.* c:\Capital\Capshell\CAPITAL\FRESHO_IN\Orders\*.*" ^
    "mv /production/fermexdistributors/fresho_orders/*.xml /production/fermexdistributors/fresho_orders/processed/*.xml" ^
    "exit"
set WINSCP_RESULT=%ERRORLEVEL%
if %WINSCP_RESULT% equ 0 (
  echo Success
) else (
  echo Error
)
exit /b %WINSCP_RESULT%
[/code]
the script works with the only issue being, Files are copied, then I think a new file is added just before the move command takes place. This file is then included in the move process. Example in the attached WinSCP log extract is file [m]0008599523_new_order_fermex_distributors_2023-11-23--10-56-25.xml[/m].

It is not listed as being copied but listed as being moved, so the client does not receive the order.[/quote]

Re: sftp copy file then move file moved but not copied

Making this transactionally safe cannot be easily achieved with simple WinSCP scripting.

You better use a more powerful script language. We have an example for upload in PowerShell:
Moving local files to different location after successful upload

For download, check this question on Stack Overflow (and my answer there):
Moving (not copying) remote files after download with WinSCP .NET assembly

sftp copy file then move file moved but not copied

Hi,

Below is the script we use to copy files it then moves the files to another directory for a clients ERP software to upload

@echo off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^
  /log="C:\temp\WinSCP.log" /ini=nul ^
  /command ^
    "open sftp://SFTP SERVER DETAILS ARE HERE"
    "get -filemask=|processed/; /production/fermexdistributors/fresho_orders/*.* c:\Capital\Capshell\CAPITAL\FRESHO_IN\Orders\*.*" ^
    "mv /production/fermexdistributors/fresho_orders/*.xml /production/fermexdistributors/fresho_orders/processed/*.xml" ^
    "exit"
set WINSCP_RESULT=%ERRORLEVEL%
if %WINSCP_RESULT% equ 0 (
  echo Success
) else (
  echo Error
)
exit /b %WINSCP_RESULT%

the script works with the only issue being, Files are copied, then I think a new file is added just before the move command takes place. This file is then included in the move process. Example in the attached WinSCP log extract is file 0008599523_new_order_fermex_distributors_2023-11-23--10-56-25.xml.

It is not listed as being copied but listed as being moved, so the client does not receive the order.
