Automatic transfer down...

Hi!
I use WinSCP for automatic datas transfer since few years and everything was fine.
I mostly use this: 
get *.* d:\doc\mvt\ -neweronly -delete
or 
get -neweronly -delete *.* d:\doc\mvt\
On the version 6.5.1, those instructions don't work anymore and I don't really understand why. Nothing changed between the past few years and today. I use ftp://login:password@ip on FileZilla 0.9.54 beta to connect to the distant server where is defined my "Home directory".

I checked both FileZilla and WinSCP logs. In one hand, no error on FileZilla... In the other hand, WinSCP tell me: 
. 2025-06-11 14:17:26.569 Copying finished: Transferred: 0, Elapsed: 0:00:00, CPS: 0/s
. 2025-06-11 14:17:26.569 Script: Failed
. 2025-06-11 14:17:26.569 Script: Exit code: 1
This is an S.O.S...
Thanks by advance!!

It looks like you do not have permissions to delete the file.
Are you sure you are able to delete the file in older version of WinSCP? Or in FileZilla (if you have meant the client, it's not clear from the original post). Post logs if you are.

Yeah, I'm sure.
Maybe the problem is because those files are 0k, like they are in the tree but contain nothing and are impossible do delete ?

If a file is empty makes no difference. That isn't a thing for perm denied.

Normally its either going to be these files are not owned by the logged in user so cannot be deleted, or the server software has a bug and incorrectly returning permission denied when that's not actually what's happening.

I can't tell based on this 
. 2025-06-11 14:17:26.569 Copying finished: Transferred: 0, Elapsed: 0:00:00, CPS: 0/s
or this 
. 2025-06-16 19:26:43.488 Deleting file "/9999/929_12_93676.pdf".

If a file even transferred. That first one shows Transferred 0. If nothing actually transferred then either the file has no read perm and cannot be deleted anyway, or doesn't exist (bad cache) and therefore cannot be deleted.

Just to highlight that some rare other possibilities exist.

Sorry, I do not follow. First you claim that you are sure that you can delete the file. And then you speculate why you might not be able to delete it.

As I have asked above already – if you can delete the file anyhow (WinSCP GUI, FileZilla, ...) please post log file showing that.
