WinSCP delete source files in specific folders older than certain date, after successful Synchronization of...
I have a batch file that Synchronizes a certain folder using WinSCP.
"C:Program Files (x86)WinSCPWinSCP.com" ^
/log="C:ScriptsLogs- Server Data - Backup !M-!D-!Y.log" ^
/command ^
"open ""sftp://xxx/Archive/Server Data/"" " ^
"synchronize remote ""C:xxx- Server Data -"" " ^
"exit"
The point behind it is to archive data to a Synology NAS SFTP server. It works well.
I also want to delete files in specific sub-directories of the source that are over a certain date, for example 30 days, but I want to be absolutely sure that they've successfully been archived to the SFTP server.
I have a batch file that deletes log files over 30 days old, but I don't think it's a safe way to delete important files. The Synchronization could hypothetically stop working for 30 days without me noticing and then I'd be screwed, for example.
ForFiles /p "C:ScriptsLogs" /s /d -30 /c "cmd /c del @file"
Also, it would be nice if the specified sub-directories could be easily editable so that I can simply add on or remove from a list. So some kind of loop I assume would be good.
What's the best way to do this?

You can test WinSCP exit code, to see if the synchronization succeeded, before you start deleting the files:
"C:Program Files (x86)WinSCPWinSCP.com" ^
/log="C:ScriptsLogs- Server Data - Backup !M-!D-!Y.log" ^
/command ^
"open ""sftp://xxx/Archive/Server Data/"" " ^
"synchronize remote ""C:xxx- Server Data -"" " ^
"exit"
if not errrolevel 1 (
ForFiles /p "C:ScriptsLogs" /s /d -30 /c "cmd /c del @file"
)
See WinSCP FAQ How do I know that script completed successfully?
For a more robust solution, you should use a more powerful language, like PowerShell combined with WinSCP .NET assembly.
You can start with this example, which has all the key pieces you need (iterating local files, and checking if they exist remotely):
Recursively move files in directory tree to SFTP server while preserving source directory structure.
