How to delete target folder created using scp by target user

I have a machines A B C. only Machine B have access to A & C. For machine A I have root access , machine B I have root access and for machine C I have User level access.

1.2.3.4 is the ip address assigned to machine B.

When I am doing from machine A as
scp -pr ./logs/ root@1.2.3.4:/common/tftpboot/
It creating folder name logs inside <machine C>:/common/tftpboot/ I have given all read write execute permission to all user groups and others as machine A is comes under others using chmod 777 tftpboot

Now after copying logs folder I am not able to delete the <machine C>:/common/tftpboot/logs/folder from User of machine C though machine C user has given the 777 permission to /common/tftpboot/ folder as the logs folder is created by others i.e machine A root

So I want to do scp to copy the folder only (and not individual files) and still I want that user c should able to delete the folder created by machine A scp after analysing logs

Now I need to do ssh to Machine B from Machine A and then only I can able to delete the scp created logs folder.

can anybody help to do so ??

Answer

before doing SCP I have changed permission of the logs folder to 777 i.e chmod -R 777 ./logs and now I can able to delete the folder created by scp at Machine C
