Moving and Duplicating Remote Files
With WinSCP you can manipulate remote files directly on the server without downloading them to local machine. You can particularly move or duplicate remote files to different remote directory.
Moving Remote Files
To move remote files, select them in file panel and then use Inter-server Move in file context menu. You can also drag selected files to a different directory in file panel listing.
You will be then prompted with the dialog, where you can alter a destination directory and specify operation mask.
You can also use the function to rename a group of selected files using operation mask. Just remove the target part, to make current directory the target.
Note that most servers do not allow moving files across different file systems. Also you may not be able to move file if the target file already exists.
Duplicating Remote Files
To duplicate remote files, select them in file panel and then
use Duplicate in file context menu. You can also drag selected files to a different directory in
the file panel listing while holding down Ctrl
key.
You will be then prompted with a dialog, where you can alter the destination directory and specify an operation mask.
Note that duplicating files is not natively supported by SFTP protocol. WinSCP allows you to do so by opening separate shell session.
