Get with -delete parameter

Hello,

I'm using the command "get -delete prod/out/invoices/*.*"

It is for us important to know how this command functions.

Does this command delete the files file by file at the moment they are read or at the moment all files in the directory are read?

It does delete a file immediately if you use "*.*" inside a directory.

BUT it does not if you transfer a whole directory! The it first transfers all files and deletes afterwards, if it succeded.

That's only true for SCP protocol, as that one is very specific. For other protocols, it works, as said.
