Post Transfer Actions

Post Transfer Actions

Post transfer actions let you further process a source file after the transfer has been completed. If you are doing an upload, then the source file is in a local folder, and the post transfer action will be processed on the local machine. If you are doing a download, then the source file is in a remote folder, and the post transfer action will be processed on the remote server, if the server allows it.

The following post transfer actions are available from the command line:

• -delete

  After the file transfer is completed, delete the source file(s) from the folder.

• -rename [Rename Mask]

  where Rename Mask includes the characters and any macros to use in renaming the file.

  After the file transfer is completed, rename the source file(s) in the folder.

• -move [directory]

  After the transfer has completed, moves the source file(s) to the specified directory on the source machine.

Deleting source files after transfer

wsftppro -s local:c:\sports\*.doc -d robert!border:/pub/drop/ -delete
