Move remote folder in another folder with AndFTP

Post by support »

Moving remote folder is not in standard FTP commands so you won't find any item in AndFTP menus to do so. However, it is possible with custom command over SCP but you do need Unix skills to execute the command to move a remote folder. For instance, assuming you want to move /home/user1/test under /home/user1/sub/test2

1 - Setup SCP connection in AndFTPPro (your server has to provide SCP support)
2 - Notice the full path of remote folder in bottom log window when logging.
(It allows making sure about initial remote path such as /home/user1)
3 - Go into /home/user1/ folder with remote browser.
4 - Then go to "Menu", click "Custom" and fill in the following command:
"mv /home/user1/test /home/user1/sub/test2"
5 - It will return OK if it succeeds or an error message if it fails.

Pay attention, you have to make sure of what you do with Unix commands.

How do I upload a web page I created in notepad to my website using FTP? I'm clueless when it comes to FTP servers. The company sent me the FTP server with the files. Do I just need to upload the notepad document using an FTP client and it will replace the old files and show up on the site?
