I am writing a script that will move files from a local system to a remote system. It must do so through an encrypted channel like ssh. What is the best way to do this? I can perform this in two steps like:

scp *.jpg user@ip:
rm *.jpg

But, that is not an atomic process (like mv is for a local filesystem). If the copy fails I will no longer have the local copies either. How can I script this to make sure the local files only get removed if the copy succeeds?

回答1:

You could use rsync with --remove-source-files:

rsync -avz --remove-source-files /local/dir/*.jpg user@ip:/remote/dir 

回答2:

An other solution, for launch in one time

scp /path/src/*.jpg user@host:/path/dst/ && rm /path/src/*.jpg
