Problem moving directories with sub-directories via SFTP
I'm trying to move a folder with subfolders via a SFTP connection onto a server and when I do it it uploads everything into the destination directory by breaking everything up.
How can I move a directory with sub directories in and have it maintain it's original hierarchy?
An example for clarification:
Moving a CSS folder onto the server with files inside of it like custom.css and a fonts folder into a folder called "themes", instead of maintaining it's structure everything gets broken up and the "themes" directory has all files listed so that all are children of "themes" instead of "CSS" being a child of themes, and custom.css being a child of the "CSS" folder.

Hello,
What version of RDM are you running?
Is it possible to post a small video of the issue?

Hi Jeff,
I'm running version 14.0.6.0 and unfortunately I can't post a video due to restricted admin access to my machine.
When I move a folder that contains folders/files into a directory it puts everything in unpacked.
I'll do my best to provide an illustrated example:
Let's say the folder is called MAIN and contains folders marked CSS and JS, with the CSS folder containing a file called custom.css it should be:
MAIN
/CSS
-custom.css
/JS
I attempt to move it into a directory called WWW via an SFTP connection on RDM, it will then break up the files and put everything in the same directory like so
main
css
custom.css
js
Does that make sense?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Hello,
What type of SFTP entry are you using exactly?
Using Filezilla via RDM, is it working as expected?
