Any command to delete files from source dir after SFTP copy

Hi,

I am currently using SFTP 'put' command to copy all files to remote server and then delete the copied files from source directory.

Can anyone help me with a single command to copy and remove files in one go?

Thanks and Regards,
Chetan Vyas

While sftp'ing !command helps to run command in the local machine. So try if the below one works or post the sftp command your using, to get an idea..
Code:
sftp ${USR}@${DEST_HOST} << EOF
mput *.txt
!rm *.txt
EOF

Yeah, I need to do the same operation but with 1 command if possible.

Ok. Then check for sftp command's -b option. It helps you to place all your commands in a file and use the file with -b option
Code:
# sample file
$>cat Sftp.bat
pwd
!ls -ltr

$>sftp -b Sftp.bat username@host
