  Hi,

  I need to move a file from one directory to another on our FTP site using Applescript. And can't seem to find the right syntax.

  Please help.

  Thanks,
  Robert

  Hi,

  I would try clicking the Record button in AppleScript Editor and then performing the move manually -- that should generate an example of the syntax to use. Let me know if that doesn't help.

  Thanks,

  Hi Jim,

  Thanks for the quick response!

  I found out that I need to "rename" the file to the location I want.
  To rename a remote file or remote folder:
  rename host "ftp.example.com" user "fred" password "secret" path "remotedir/filename" newname "/remotedir/NEWLOCATION/filename" (with sftp if needed)

  Works great now.

  Thanks again,
  Robert
