The *important* bit is that you have to select "Create Folder" when asked to 'Select a remote destination folder' then it creates a new folder under the remote root folder.

It's not very obvious what is going on until you actually do it though. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ User mailing list User@owncloud.org http://mailman.owncloud.org/mailman/listinfo/user
