    1. Re: Changing Directory Structure

    3. Cheryl It is easy to rearrange your sub-directory structure with the right software. With WS-FTP Pro (the full featured version) all I have to do is to point to a directory, filename or filenames to be moved in the remote directory window, right-click and pick the move command from the popup menu. Type in the destination sub-directory name and hit enter. I moved about a thousand headstone photographs by that method up two directory levels and then down three levels in a different sub-directory tree the last time I reorganized. The only "gotcha" is that you have to enter the destination directory name relative to where the file currently resides. For example: new_directory - Would move the file into the subdirectory "new_directory" ../new_directory - Would back out one level and then put the file(s) in the sub-directory "new_directory" ../../directory/subdirectory - Would back out two levels and then drill down the directory/subdirectory tree. You are supposed to be able to do the same thing with WS-FTP Explorer by simply dragging the filename to the new directory, BUT the few times I tried that route WS-FTP downloaded the file to my computer and then uploaded it to the new directory instead of moving it on the host computer.

IOW, I want to move some stuff out of the main public_html directory into a sub directory under that, but a lot of it is graphics, and I don't particularly want to re-up the graphics. :(
