I have a user who is having trouble copying information from one folder on an FTP site to another folder. She is accessing the FTP site from a browser. She has Full Control over the parent folder, and I double checked...she has full control over the two folders that she is trying to copy information from and to. She can, however, download the files she is trying to copy to her own hard drive. Then upload them back to the other folder. Any ideas?

Note: It actually lets you right click and copy. Then when you try to go to another folder and right-click and paste, the paste option is grayed out.

FTP doesn't support copy and paste. The only way she's going to get this accomplished is the way she's been doing it. Download, then upload back to another folder on the FTP server. The reason there is a right click COPY is so you could paste to your local drive.

You could also log into the server's control panel and use file management to copy the files from one folder to another.
