[WS_FTP Forum] ftp Pro, unable to copy files on remote hserver

[Nick Fowlie]

Hi   I've just bought version 8 of the ftp client software and my initial use has been fraught with problems. I have been attempting to copy a directory structure on the remote Linux server to a new directory on that server (for backup purposes) and there are numerous problems. Firstly only the directory structure is copied and NONE of the files. Also during the copy  process FTP pro has to try and log back into the remote host after ‘thinking’ it has lost connection.   I have tried this operation on the browser and classic version of your tool, both by dragging and dropping the directory and by doing a “select all” and right clicking the mouse to 'copy' and then 'paste' the directory, nothing works ?? any help would be great, I bought the tool to do simple admin on the remote system as well as upload/download files to my computer at the moment it was a waste of money.   Regards Nick
