FTP/SFTP file move

Question

Hi,

Is it possible for file move within the same FTP/SFTP server with editFTPj/PRO Version 2.1.0.
If so, please provide me the code.


Thanks in advance,
Regards,

Answer 1

It depends on the server - try renaming it (using the old path, and the new path).

Answer 2

i have used

ftp.rename("test.txt", "date\test.txt");

I'm getting following exception;

com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPException: RNTO failed...

Any Suggestion?

Answer 3

Try using the full paths:

ftp.rename("/home/usr/abc/test.txt", "/home/usr/date/test.txt");

where of course you need to use the correct paths.

You can find out the paths by using a command line client and typing 'pwd'

Not all FTP servers permit the above, but many do.

Answer 4

It works with the absolute path

Thanks for your quick reply
