Moving or Deleting files from an FTP

Question

Does anyone know how to move files on an FTP server from one folder to another? If not, as an alternate solution, does anyone know how to delete files from a folder on an FTP server?

Thanks

If you are looking for a CUT and PASTE you will need to take the script approach. If you can create a command line script to move the files you can then kick this off via Alteryx.

Yeah, I had seen that post last year and had already replied because the person who wrote it claimed that it worked, but I couldn't duplicate it with the desired affect.  I specifically need the action to mimic a CUT and Paste rather than a Copy and Paste.

I'm thinking either a copy and paste, with the option to delete once copied, or a true cut and paste if anyone has a solution for that.

Thanks.  I have used this functionality for moving files locally and over a network drive, but unsure how to write a script to do so via SFTP.  If someone has that insight, I'd be grateful.
