Answer 1

You can't do this in FTP. You have to download and then upload again.

Answer 2

I figured as much, but thought maybe you guys had a backdoor of sorts for the library. I already do it that way, but wanted to save a little bandwidth.

Answer 3

Some servers *may* offer special site commands to do this, or give you the ability to execute a command such as cp. You can do this with the library - the main thing is does the server offer this? Most won't.
