public void RenameFile(

)

Parameters

currentFilename

The name of the file or folder to rename. Some FTP servers may be case-sensitive. Not all servers support renaming folders.

newFilename

The new name. Some FTP servers may be case-sensitive.

By default, the item will be renamed in the current working folder. If you want to rename the item in another location, you could use the ChangeCurrentFolder and/or ChangeToParentFolder methods to change the current working folder. Absolute paths can also be provided; however, some FTP servers might not support absolute paths, and different server types may have different ways of representing absolute paths.

The current working folder can be retrieved via the GetCurrentFolder method.

The RenameFile method will send the RNFR and RNTO commands to the FTP server. Not all servers support renaming folders with these commands.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
