I am actually trying to MOVE a folder from one location to another. The 201 folder is the folder where all the forms for a site go, and that is inside a Customer folder containing all the site folders. Inside the site folder there may be device folders where the forms specific to a device go. It looks like this:
Installs ...Customer 1 ......Site 1 .........Device 1 .........Device 2 ......Site 2 .........Device 3 .........Device 4 ...Customer 2 and so on. I have a feature where I can transfer a device to another site, and a site to another customer. An odd notion until you relize how often data entry people enter duplicates because of spelling changes on the input form or simply because they don't want to take the time to search properly. Having transferred the Site in the database to the correct customer, I now need to move the site folder to another customer. renameFolder seems to be the only mechanism in place to do this, but apparently will only rename the ENDPOINT and NOT a SUBFOLDER of the ENDPOINT. My opinion is it ought to do either.
