copying files from one location to another within ftp server

Question

I am facing problem copying or moving files/folders from from one server directory to another server directory within the same FTP server.Is there any methods for moving or copying the files from one location to another location within the same server?pls help.

Answer 1

Unfortunately FTP doesn't support this - the simplest way to do it is download the files to a temporary area, upload them to the new location, delete from the old location and delete the temporary area.

Answer 2

Bruce,
Does ftpconnection1.renamefile(file1,file2) only work within the same folder?

Thanks,

Jim

Answer 3

Generally yes. There may be some servers that support supplying different paths but not usually.
