Hai guise.

Um, as most of you know, I'm a webdesigner, and I uploading things all the time through FTP. I don't really know if I'm using an FTP program right now, but if I am, then it's probably a default one or something. All I know is that I go to ftp://mysitename.com, enter a username & password, copy and paste my files, etc.

But anyways, quite soon one of my sites will be becoming my main website. It's currently located at http://www.gamechief.net/radio, but I wanna move it to the parent directory (http://www.gamechief.net/). When using my FTP program (or whatever), I can't move files from one place to another. Like, I can copy something from my FTP to my computer, but I can't copy something from my FTP to another place on my FTP. OK. Just to make sure you get it, I wanna move everything in http://www.gamechief.net/radio to http://www.gamechief.net/, but it won't let me. I go to copy the files, and I right click (etc.), and it doesn't actually go to the clipboard. It basically won't let me do it.

So anyways, does anyone use (or know of) any good FTP programs that would let me do this? Thanks!

Just remember that, kay?
A quick search through it turned up with these:

http://filezilla-project.org/
http://www.smartftp.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_FTP_clients


And can't you just use the FTP program to move the files to your computer, then re-transmit it to the directory you want?

I use smartftp.

I use Smart FTP too.

I have having problems with it though. When I click too open it it says

"Your SmartFTP build is about to expire. Please buy a license update to the latest build to remove this expatriation notice"

That has came up every time I opened it before But I could just click OK and It would work. Well it doesn't anymore.

So I download the update but that still comes up...

Could Anyone help?

I did try Google, but I figured I'd get the advice from people who KNOW what they're talking about. Google isn't personal like asking is.

And also I could do that, but then I'd hafta uninstall the cutenews that I have installed there, then reinstall them into the directory. Which is a pain, considering I have like 5 cutenews installed there.

Well, I thought of something. I could leave the cutenews installed there, then just link to that directory. I think I'll be doing that. But if I run into any more problems, I'll prolly get SmartFTP... Thanks guys!

I use wsftp pro. If you have shell access(ssh) on a linux server you can move files around simply using the cp - r commands or mv commands. If you want to get files moved around using ftp you will have to download them to your pc and reupload them where you want. In my experience there is no ftp app that allows ftp files to be moved on the server end to other folders. And since it easier in linux to just move an entire directory around, ive never tried in any ftp app :_)

If your on a winblows server , dunno.

Thanks SS
