Copying folder from a directory to another on a remote FTP server

Question

I have a community edition of Alfresco and whenever a new user is created on our database we have to copy a 'default' folder from a directory to the users directory in Alfresco (both the source and destiny directories are in Alfresco server).

I have found many recursive copy functions but none of them worked for me, since they use functions like opendir() and dir() which aren't available to use on a remote server.

Soooo... What is your question? – Ivar Sep 28 '16 at 09:32 — Ivar, Sep 28 '16 at 09:32

You cannot really copy a file from one remote directory to another with the FTP protocol.

See FTP copy a file to another place in same FTP.

So you have to download the files and re-upload them to the other directory.

Or if you have a shell access to the server, use the cp shell command instead or FTP.
