I have a problem. I need to move the folder /planetterragen.com/htdocs/real/trips to /planetterragen.com/htdocs/trips I tried to do this in Cute FTP but it said that the directories already existed and it didn't move a thing. Basically I want to get rid of the 'real' folder. There are a lot of subdirectories within the 'trips' folder and they take up about 50mb, which is why I can't simply delete the folders and upload them again (I dial up to the Internet using a modem). Any suggestions appreciated. BTW, I am using Fasthosts Internet w/Freeserve dialup. -- Scott scott@planetterragen.com //planetterragen.com

With Windows you dont have much choice if FTP doesnt work. Do they provide a webbased file manager program? If so you coudl try that, if not you could ask them to move the files for you. The server admin can do this in Windows. -- Gordon Hudson || Hostroute.com Ltd e-mail:ghudson [at] hostroute.net http://www.hostroute.co.uk/ Web Hosting and Dedicated Servers http://www.nameroute.co.uk/ Domain Names with free hosting and email �14

Just tried it on Fasthosts FTP, works no probs. Snark
