Backup folder contents but not source folder?
Posted: 23 May 2022, 14:03
So I have a folder on a SFTP server called Completed Projects.
Inside this folder are separate folders for different projects that have been completed recently.
On a local server I then have another Completed Projects folder. This contains all completed projects from all time.
I want to download/backup the contents of the completed projects on the SFTP and write them into the Completed Projects folder on the local server and then delete them from the SFTP.
What I find though is that it downloads/backups the Completed Projects folder on the SFTP into the Completed Projects folder on the local server so that, on the local server, I have a path of /Completed Projects/Completed Projects.
I'm sure I'm being stupid but I can't figure out how to not include the source folder in the backup and only include the contents of the source folder.
