Trying to move files from one directory to another is not as intuitive as other actions done on an FTP server. One would expect a move command, but unfortunately the protocol does not support such a command. To move a file from one directory to another on an FTP server, the 4D Internet Commands (4DIC) function FTP_Rename will need to be used. The example below connects to an FTP server, creates a new folder called "newfolder", and moves the existing file "test.txt" into the new folder:


` ------------------------------------------------------------
C_LONGINT($errcode;$ftpID)


$errcode:=FTP_Login ("hostftpserver";"user";"password";$ftpID;"Hello")
$errcode:=FTP_MakeDir ($ftpID;"newfolder")
$errcode:=FTP_Rename ($ftpID;"test.txt";"\newfolder/test.txt")
$errcode:=FTP_Logout ($ftpID)
` ------------------------------------------------------------





Please note that no error checking is performed in the above example, to aid in readability. You should be sure to check the result of all 4DIC commands.
