Differences in Option Behavior
--delete-before-transfer
With ascp4, --delete-before-transfer can be used with URI storage. URI storage is not
supported for this option in ascp.
--file-list
ascp automatically applies -d if the destination folder does not exist. With ascp4, you must
specify -d, otherwise all the files in the file list are written to a single file.
-i (SSH key authentication)
With ascp, the argument for -i can be just the file name of the private key file and ascp
automatically looks in the .ssh directory of the user's home directory. With ascp4, the full or
relative path to the private key file must be specified.
--overwrite=method
The default overwrite method is "diff" for ascp and "always" for ascp4.
--symbolic-links
Both ascp and ascp4 support follow, copy, and skip, but only ascp supports copy+force.
