Get -Delete fails intermittently

Current version of WinSCP 5.17.7 (Build 10640) running on Windows Sserver 2016 Std
Previous Version 5.75 (Build 5665) running on Win Svr 2008 R2
Protocol in use SFTP via Scripting...

We have been using WinSCP to down/up load files for years from a script

We recently migrated to new Servers, I installed the latest WinSCP...
Now the get -delete command fails to delete the file "sometimes"...
The get always succeeds... The -delete claims it gets either a "Permission Denied" or "File in Use" error... And reports Error Code 3... A snippet of what gets reported is below...

If I return to the "Old Server", the commands still always succeed...
FWIW, I use WinSCP to down/upload files to two separate SFTP Servers...
One of them (SPS Commerce) still succeeds always...
The other of them (CommerceHub) is the one that is failing... (I am in contact with their Support too, although they claim they cannot help...)
Ideas? Its tempting to uninstall the "Latest Release" and install the Back Level release to see if that changes things...

Re: Get -Delete fails intermittently

Please post session log files.
1) from the "old server", where it always succeeds.
2) log of failure on the new server.

Re: Get -Delete fails intermittently

I received this response from CommerceHub Support...
My internal team was able to get back to me about the errors you are seeing. They advised that the delete command is being issued to quickly. You will want to setup a slight delay between download completions and deleting.
Is there a way to "Insert a Slight Delay"?
FWIW, the Command that is having issues is...
get -delete *.intchg E:\EDIA\IN\CommHub\HOLD\*.intdec
I am considering changing the get -delete *.intchg to something like
mv *.intchg *.intdec
get *.intdec E:\EDIA\IN\CommHub\HOLD\
rm *.intdec
The extra rename step to make sure I avoid even the slightest possibility of a new file landing in the Folder between the get and rm...

Comments?

Re: Get -Delete fails intermittently

It actually turns out that the SFTP Account we are using does not have rename capability...
So I can split the get and -delete actions, but this introduces an admittedly small window where, if a file arrives in the folder during the get, it would be deleted before its been received...

Any ideas? I am fairly "naive" to WinSCP scripting...
If I can "collect" filenames into a Window Variable I have a chance to split up the Get and Delete...
Even if I can execute an ls into a Windows variable... I might be able to twist things...
