FTP --> Move

Hi Karen,

Back in August/September I tried to FTP some files to Phoenyx.  I'm trying
to move my SylvrStorm site from Geocities to Phoenyx.  It seems I'm able to
upload files with no problem, but I can't move them to my 'storm' directory.



On my first attempt, I tried three files (index.html, copyrigt.html, and
sylvrban.jpg).  They FTP'd fine, but did not appear in the storm directory
when I tried the Move button, so I sent you a note.  You replied, and it
sounded like you had fixed something that was wrong.  I don't know if you
moved the files for me, or if somehow they got moved automagically, but they
showed up in storm.

So I tried again with another file (charactr.html).  Again the FTP worked,
but I could not move it to storm, so I asked again, wondering if there was
still work to do, or if I was doing anything wrong.  You said it works, just
not spectacularly.  I wasn't sure what that meant, and that file never did
show up in the storm directory.

I haven't had time to deal with it for a couple months, but finally got
around to playing with it again today.  I tried resending charactr.html, and
it said I didn't have permission to overwrite a file, so presumably it's
still there from my previous attempt.  (I can't read the incoming directory,
so it's hard to know what's going on for sure.)  I successfully uploaded two
more files (guidelin.html and irallah.html).

However, this time when I tried to do the move, it didn't even give me a
chance to specify the file name.  It doesn't give me an error or anything,
it just seems to do nothing.  I still have 37 files to upload, plus the
three that are presumably sitting in the incoming directory.

So my question is, how do I move files from the incoming directory to the
storm directory?

Thanks,
Kevin.
