SFTP-Download - files doesn't move Thu Oct 03, 2024 7:00 am • by Chq
Hi,

with Hazel i wanted to create an auto-downloader for an SFTP-server (Picdrop), which downloads every file, when a file appears onto the SFTP-server.

Therefore i used Mountain Duck first to create a volume from a SFTP-server.
Then i wanted to use Hazel to move the files automatically from the SFTP-server to my computer.

On an older Mac with macOS 14.6.1 this setup worked flawless.

Now, on my new M3 MacBook Air with macOS 15.0 there seems to be a problem with the move command.

Everytime a file should have been moved, it appers for a short moment in the targetfilder (also rule works), before it disappeared again after some milliseconds. Then, the file onto the SFTP-server doesn't disappear too (because it should have been moved).

I use the same rules as onto my old computer.

Out of desperation, I tried to recreate the rules again, but that didn't help either, as the result was the same.

Rule Status shows this:

less than a minute ago: "IMG_5324.jpeg" couldn't be moved to the trash because the volume "Picdrop" doesn't have one.

What I noticed is that when I manually delete a file on the SFTP server from the Mac, the operating system asks me if I really want to delete the file. I'm not sure if this was the case on my old system as well.

What can be the problem?

I'm not familiar with Picdrop but I suggest looking into creating a trash directory on that volume. The prompt asking to delete the file is because there is no trash so the file will be deleted immediately.

Updated Hazel to V.5.3.6. Now it works as expected.
