Renaming a file while using SFTP
Hi All,
I have a script which works perfectly for using SFTP commands.
I use SFTP -b batchfile remoteuser@remoteserver.
This batch file contains a command
cd /dir1
put file1
I am wondering if there is a flag to rename a file on Remote server.
I see the option
rename file1 file1_old in SFTP
This works fine if file1 exists on Remote Server. If it does not then it errors out.
I did not see any force flag on rename command, so any idea on how to FIX IT??

libssh2_sftp_read
libssh2_sftp_read(3) libssh2 manual libssh2_sftp_read(3)
NAME
libssh2_sftp_read - read data from an SFTP handle
SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h> #include <libssh2_sftp.h>
ssize_t libssh2_sftp_read(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle, char *buffer, size_t buffer_maxlen);
DESCRIPTION
handle is the SFTP File Handle as returned by libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3)
buffer is a pointer to a pre-allocated buffer of at least
buffer_maxlen bytes to read data into.
Reads a block of data from an LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE. This method is modelled after the POSIX read(2) function and uses the same calling
semantics. libssh2_sftp_read(3) will attempt to read as much as possible however it may not fill all of buffer if the file pointer reaches
the end or if further reads would cause the socket to block.
RETURN VALUE
Number of bytes actually populated into buffer, or negative on failure. It returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block.
While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it isn't really a failure per se.
ERRORS
LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT -
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid SFTP protocol response was received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to be
returned by the server.
