WinSCP deleted files while moving

I tried to copy a folder with the same name to a folder (move it down because it named stepfun/stepfun. The move command did not move but delete the folder and files in it.

Re: WinSCP deleted files while moving

Thanks for your report. Well, yes indeed that's what happens. It's kind of expected. You are actually warned that the target folder (which happens to contains the source folder in your case) will be deleted. But I understand that WinSCP might prevent you from doing this in the first place. I'll look into it.
