Moving File in Remote Server

Question

Hi friends,

How can i move a file inside the remote server location after transfer it to local system through FTP.

My requirement is, transfer a file from a location of remote server to local system and then move the file present in server to another location in the server itself.

Is there any way out??


Thanks in Advance

Hi Subhasish

Yes, you can move a file from one directory on the server to another directory on the server using the rename operation. This operation is usually used to rename a file, but an also be used to move a file.

So if, for example, you have a file called myfile in a directory called dirA and you want to move it to another directory dirB then you can rename the file from dirA/myfile to dirB/myfile.

Using a command-line FTP client this would be done by something like:

> REN dirA/myfile dirB/myfile

I hope that solves your problem.
