See more FTP Examples

Moves a file from one directory to another. This is accomplished by renaming the file using a filepath that includes the directory. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$ftp = chilkat::CkFtp2->new();

$ftp->put_Hostname("ftp.example.com");
$ftp->put_Username("login");
$ftp->put_Password("password");

# Connect and login to the FTP server.
$success = $ftp->Connect();
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Rename the remote file (or directory)
$existingFilepath = "dirA/hello.txt";
$newFilepath = "dirB/hello.txt";
$success = $ftp->RenameRemoteFile($existingFilepath,$newFilepath);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$success = $ftp->Disconnect();
