Moving multiple files

psylenced · #1 09-21-2004, 08:59 PM

As there isnt shell access, is there a quick and easy way to move multiple files? In the filemanager in cpanel it only allows to move 1 file at a time, which isnt really good when you need to move 50+ files.

Don't you use an FTP client?

I want to move files from /dir1 to /dir2.

In a shell i'd do: mv dir1/* ./dir2

And its not really a good way of doing it through ftp as i'd have to download 5-10mb then upload it again straight afterward.

In your ftp client you can select the files you want to move and drag them to the new directory.

CuteFTP Pro (and many others) will allow you to copy/move files right on the server, so it shouldnt take moire than a few seconds.

Yep, my client handled it. I've been using ftp for years, just never thought to do the obvious
