Copy and Paste removes files from the remote folder 

FTP Servers do not support a "Copy" command. If you use "Copy" then "Paste" you 

actually move the file to the new location on the server, and the file is removed from the old 

location. You can "Cut & Paste" the file back if you need to restore the original file. This is a 

limitation of the FTP protocol.  

To copy a file or folder from one remote folder to another 

1.  Download the file. 

2.  Upload the file to the new location. Another option is to perform a site to site 

transfer.

Not all servers allow site to site transfers 

You can accomplish a copy by downloading the file and then uploading again to the 

new destination folder, or by performing a site to site transfer on the same site (if the 

server allows it).  

The copy command is in the menu, because you CAN copy files from the remote to 

the local pane, or to the queue, etc.

When connected to a VMS server, downloads start, reach approximately 98% and never 

complete. They continually restart and try to complete but never do.
