Copy file on FTP server

Question

Hello all,
Is there anyway to copy (not move or rename) on a FTP server? I look over the function available and could not see anything that will do it. Just wondering any simple way to implement this beside download and re-upload the file to the new location.
Thank you.

Hugh

Hi Hugh

No, FTP doesn't have a copy command. The best you can hope for is that the specific server that you're communicating with has a custom SITE command that does it.

Thank you. I will look into what SITE commands that the server has.
