How to MOVE (not only: Copy) files to/from server? Verify

#1 Post by thoste » 2012-10-19 08:53

When I use FZ client I can successfully connect to my remote ftp server.
Then in local and the remote subwindow the current list of files appear.

When I mark now (lets say on the remote side) a couple of files and drag them to the local pane then they are all COPIED by default. However I want to MOVE them. Ok, I can manually delete them after a copy but this is somehow unconvenient.

Can I somehow tell FZ client to MOVE all dragged files rather than copy them?

I expect something like a context menu after dropping the files which shows two entries: "copy" and "move"
The MOVE should consists INTERNALLY of a copy, a verify and a delete.

In other words the MOVE (and before the auto-delete on the source side) FZ client should check (e.g. by CRC hash check) if the files are really copied successfully (= do a "verify").

No, that's not possible.

That's exactly the reason why there is no Move: FTP doesn't support Verify. In case you refer to XCRC, XMD5, XSHA etc, these are proprietary solutions without any standard and thus not part of FTP. There's a draft for a HASH command underway, but it is not accepted as standard, yet.
