That depends on where Sub2 is actually located in relation to Sub1.  Please
provide more details.

What EXACTLY is happening?  Are you getting an error?  If so, what is it?

Hi Remy,

Sub1 and Sub2 are both subdirectories of the root. If I change
directory to sub1 I can put and get files from it.
If I try to change directory to the other sub-directory, and try
to 'Put' a file to it, I get an error telling me that an
exception has been raise type EIdProtocolReplyError with message
'log.dbf'Append/Restart not permitted.
This happens on the following line:-
IdFTP1->Put("c:\\awsmon\\data\\log.dbf","log.dbf",true);
I have tried changing directory back to the root first, but
get the same error each time. Sub2 is empty so I am not trying
to append to an existing file, however, there is a 'log.dbf'
file in Sub1 so it looks as if it hasn't change directory.

Thanks,

David

OK Remy,

Panic over. It was a stupid mistake, as usual. I got the folders
the wrong way round.

Thanks for your patience.

Then both ChangeDir('/Sub2') and ChangeDir('../Sub2') (while in Sub1) should
be working fine.

There is your answer then.  The user account that you loged in with does not
have permission to upload files into Sub2.  That has nothing to do with
ChangeDir(), or even with TIdFTP at all.  That is a configuration issue on
the server side.
