I wanted to copy a file from one folder to another folder within a ftp server. For example if a file is on folder1 in a ftp server then i want copy it to folder2. I know how to move or rename the files in ftp server. I also searched in google to copy file within ftp server but i didn't get a work around for it.Also does rdp command line provides facilities like this? So anyone know how it can be done?
Now i am uploading the same file to two folders separately.So it does take more time.So if it is possible to copy the file then i need to upload only once and then copy it to other folder easily.
So anyone please come up with ideas or codes to do it.
Thank you
Regrettably, the answer is simple: there is no FTP copy command. For an exhaustive, well referenced list of FTP commands, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FTP_commands.
In the old days, when FTP was standard, you would have used its companion program telnet to operate in the remote directory.

I want to edit files on my server, but don't want to always upload the files, is there a way on to edit the files remotly?
I tryed to make an bash script which should upload the files, but its not realy good :/ and sometimes didn't worked
You can use Atom with the
Retome FTP edit
Package
If you have got an SSH (SFTP enabled) access to your server, an option would be use use SSHFS to mount a remote directory on your local working path.
In this way you can use any editor (or even something else) to change your files and they will always be synchronised.
Just keep in mind that, in this way, files are actually located on your server, you won't have a real copy on your local machine.
I have setup flow force server in my local pc and I was able to run couple of sample jobs. Then I try to setup FTP store job by providing required details. I was also able to upload specific file in to FTP server as well.
But now I need to know whether there is a possibility to upload all the files in particular folder in to target folder in FTP server. Appreciate if someone who have knowledge above flowforce server can share their thoughts about this.
I need to be able to detect when files and folders are copied to a 1 of 100 subfolders in a file share, then copy those files/folders onto another site. I currently use powershell for this but it's not a good solution, was hoping someone could give me pointers on alternative for monitoring windows file share

I recently created a .NET application to copy any new file over FTP.
I used FileSystemWatcher Class to fire an event whenever there is a new incoming file. You can enable the watcher to look into sub directories. Then copy those file to your desired location with the help of File Class.

My basic requirement is to add a ".temp" suffix to a file while it is getting uploaded on to the FTP server (suffix should be only for time until the file is fully uploaded).
As per my understanding, i thought this could be achieved by: Add a suffix to file on the local machine, then upload it and after the upload is complete, rename the file to remove suffix on server.
But now the another problem is that i could not found a way to rename a file on FTP server using cocoa. I know renaming a file is feasible using Java or other languages but i want to achieve the same in objectiveC.
Please tell be if the above task is feasible and if it is what is the approach i should follow?
FYI: I know how to upload and download a file on FTP server using NSInputStream and NSOutputStream.
Thanks. I'd appreciate any help.
Take a look at CFNetwork FTP docs. They do not mention exactly your case, but there may be a way to sent RNFR and RNTO commands over the stream.

There is also a sample project you can look into:

This library claims to do what you want (rename remote files)

I have successfully been able to upload single files to an FTP with this:
My.Computer.Network.UploadFile
Is there a way to upload an entire directory, such as this:
My.Computer.Network.UploadFolder
Never worked with FTP in VB.NET, but it seems there is no direct way to do it.
Here is what people say about how it can be done:
Traversal the local directory
Create the same directory structure in the FTP server.
Upload the file in each local directory.
Also see here for same question answered (C#). It confirms there is no built-in way. You would have to write some code or use 3rd party libraries.
