How can I use FTP to move files between directories?

Question

I have a program that needs to move a file from one directory to another on an FTP server. For example, the file is in:

ftp://1.1.1.1/MAIN/Dir1

Answer 1

In following code example I tried with following data and it works.

FTP Login location is "C:\FTP".

File original location "C:\FTP\Data\FTP.txt".

File to be moved, "C:\FTP\Move\FTP.txt".

Uri serverFile = new Uri(“ftp://localhost/Data/FTP.txt");
FtpWebRequest reqFTP= (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(serverFile);
reqFTP.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.Rename;
reqFTP.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUser, ftpPass);
reqFTP.RenameTo = “../Move/FTP.txt";

FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)reqFTP.GetResponse();
