RE: SFTP Script halting

I would imagine if there is no source file to transfer, then it will not replace or update anything on the remote FTP site for that file.

That would be expected behavior in my eyes.

If you don't want to send a file at a time, you should consider doing a delete from the remote site before you transfer any data.

Or get the remote vendor to remove the files after they process them.

Then you would not have any leftover data.

Different but related issue.
If the file being SFTP is empty, and replace option is used, the transmission is stated successful, but the empty file does not replace the existing file on remote server.
Thus, I receive a call from remote vendor stating they did not receive today's file, file is equal to yesterday's file.

Anyone from the group experiencing this issue?

How about putting one file at a time? I suppose there is a slight overhead on the connection, but maybe not noticeable?
