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

Maybe important to know for others

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.

Martin,

Thnx!

A file is deleted immediately after it is transferred.

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?
