You could user FTP.voidcmd()
E.G.
ftp.voidcmd('RNFT filename.txt')ftp.voidcmd('RNTO newdir/filename.txt')
>From the rfc:RENAME FROM (RNFR) This command specifies the old pathname of the file which is to be renamed. This command must be immediately followed by a "rename to" command specifying the new file pathname. RENAME TO (RNTO) This command specifies the new pathname of the file specified in the immediately preceding "rename from" command. Together the two commands cause a file to be renamed. P.S.
