Delete After download function

[Siklio]

So from the looks of what I could dig up, it doesn't seem possible....

I'm trying to set-up a layout where when someone using the Client Filezilla downloads off a server, that the file be removed from the server once successfully downloaded, Delete after download function.

I just can't seem to find any options on both Client/Server settings to put this in place.


If anyone knows any tips on how to maneuver this, that would be awesome!

I've looked at an old thread back in the early 2010's and it wasn't compatible then, well how about now?

Such a feature doesn't exist in FileZilla products.

The problem with this was (and still is) that FTP lacks any official feature for verifying the contents of transferred files. You, yourself, absolutely need to make sure all files are still 100% intact after transfer, prior to deleting them.
In the light of this, adding a delete-after-transfer feature to FileZilla is not a good idea, and could even be seen as borderline data sabotage.

There is no reliable way for a server to detect whether a client has successfully downloaded a file.
