getting files and delete when confirmed
Hi,
I have a remote server that i need to download *.xml files in a folder and then delete those files from the server. The files can be added to the server by a separate process at any time so i only want to delete the ones i have downloaded correctly.
If i used the get command with the -delete option like this will it :
a) get file 1, then delete it on success, get file 2, delete it on success, etc
or
b) get *.xml, then delete *.xml ?
What i need to avoid is it getting *.xml, during which another .xml is created (but not downloaded), and then it getting deleted by the del *.xml
Also, say it had 10 files to get and it failed for file 6, would it try to delete it with the *.xml
The alternative path i was thinking is to run a script that lists all of the *.xml files, then a process (thinking a for /f command loop) to build a new script to get the listed files one at a time with -delete, and then run the new script. that way i'm only dealing with the named files from the first listing and each get -delete is only talking about 1 file at a time.
For reference i will be running this on Win Server 2012.
Any example snipets of code are always greatly appreciated. a very ruff outline of the list and loop option i was thinking is below.
