Generally, rename is move, just rename with absolute or high relative path, like "rename outbound/xxx20110810.gz ../archive/xxx20110810.gz", but of course with the right metacharacters for the target ftp server and system.

I got the rename command worked. But when i try to parameterize its not working
Code:
put ${FTP_FROM_FILENAME} ${FTP_TO_FILENAME}
rename /in/wcsFeed/tmpdrop${FTP_TO_FILENAME} /in/wcsFeed/dropoff/${FTP_TO_FILENAME}
quit


the put command is working to putting the files to /in/wcsFeed/tmpdrop but it is not able to rename to move it to /in/wcsFeed/dropoff.

If i manually do it like
rename /in/wcsFeed/tmpdrop/file.txt /in/wcsFeed/dropoff$/file.txt its working but i try to parameterize its not working. The parameter has multiple files

Show your script.

Use one ftp to list the targets, pipe to sed to make the names into rename commands, and pipe them to a second ftp session.

Why not just put it where you want it?
Put $file /absolute/path/$file

Maybe they move the old out of the way first?
