Quoting to delete remote file does not work when pulling a file

Well, I must admit that I am embarrassed. I thought that I had carefully read the man page, but upon re-reading it, I see that
this is prominently documented.

Thank you very much for your help.

Subject: Quoting to delete remote file does not work when pulling a

I am using curl on an AIX server. Here is the version.
[DC:dev01:/interfaces/test/bin] curl --version curl 7.64.0 (powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.9.0) libcurl/7.64.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2o zlib/1.2.11 libssh2/1.8.2

When I try to pull a file and then delete it from the remote server, curl delete the file BEFORE it pulls it. I searched for this type of error and could not find anyone else who has experienced it.

This is all in my development region, so I have control of both sides of the transfer. Also, I made sure the file existed on the "remote" server before I ran this command:

The quote command didn't show up in your message, but I assume it was something like '-Q rm remotefilename.asc'. That behaviour would be working as documented.
To run the command after the transfer, it needs to be preceded with -, so something like '-Q -rm remotefilename.asc'.
