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:

Answer 1

MSDN seems to suggest that your path is considered relative, and therefore it tries to log in to the FTP server using the supplied credentials, then sets the current directory to the <UserLoginDirectory>/path directory. If this isn't the same directory where your file is, you'll get a 550 error.
