it should only delete files, but it also deletes directories

Hello,

i have a Problem with deleting files and Directorys. Here the Situation:
I connect to an SFTP-Server to pick up daily files and delete this files after Transfer.
/additional-documents --> csv-Files
/additional-documents/kyc --> pdf-Files
/additional-documents/pid --> pdf-Files

I can normally pick up the csv-Files and after Transfer the files will be deleted. here the code:
cd additional-document
option transfer binary
get deu*.CSV K:\REWE\Treuhandreports\
rm deu*.csv

If i pick up the pdf-Files from the subfolders kyc and pic, the file are transferred and deleted normally, but the subfolders kyc and pid are also deleted. I dont know why. here the code:

cd additional-document/kyc
option transfer binary
get bac*.pdf c:\KYC\
rm bac*.pdf

Does somebody has any idea?

Best
Matthias

I do not think your script does that. It can be a behavior of your SFTP server.

If you want us to investigate further, please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

Btw, doing get and rm is not transactionally safe. Do get -delete instead.
