Moving A file to a different directory

[coolcat]

Hi All,

I would like to move a file to a different directory...

I read this but didn't see how....

http://www.360works.com/plugins/FTPPLUGIN/documentation.html

directory:

file1

file2

FOLDER1

GOAL: I would like to move file1 to FOLDER1

what function(s) do I use?

(I hope I don't have to download then upload the delete original - do I?

[bcooney]

afaik, there is no move. So, yes, download, upload and go back and delete.

If you're moving the file to an existing directory then you can move it by calling:

FTPeek_Rename( "file1" ; "FOLDER1/file1" )

If the folder does not exist then create the folder first by calling:

FTPeek_MakeDir( "FOLDER1" )

I will adjust the documentation file for next release to make this more apparent.

Hi, 

 

This is amazing, but I can I use the FTPeek_Rename command also to move a folder? I am now downloading a file, and re-uploading it to a different folder, then delete the FTP origin directory. This is a burden on bandwidth - I am usually just a lot faster to simply move the directory remotely using a FTP client. 

 

Can we use FTPeek_Rename to move a folder around?

 

I have also - unsuccessfully - attempted to use FTPeek_ExecuteCommand and RNFR - RNTO sequence; but that just threw errors....

 

Thank you!

FTPeek does not currently support using FTPeek_Rename to move a folder around. I would expect a good workaround to be the FTPeek_ExecuteCommand function.

 

If that threw errors, the plugin should have caught said errors and logged them with a readable message. Can you reproduce the problem and follow the steps listed here to send in your log file:

360Works can also customize the plugin for you. Please send an email to [email protected] if you would like an estimate on customizing the FTPeek plugin.
