Copy the file with folder structure from Linux to Windows using WinSCP and delete file which ever is copied and keep the folder

Question

PowerShell or WinSCP – need to download the file and folder structure and delete the file which ever is copied and delete the file but not folder structure.

Answer 1

It's easy with WinSCP .NET assembly and a PowerShell script.

$result = $session.GetFilesToDirectory($remotePath, $localPath)
$result.Check()

foreach ($result.Transfers as $transfer)
{
    $session.RemoveFile($transfer.FileName)
}
