using webrequest to issue a rename command that moves FTP folders

Question

How can I use FTP to move files between directories?

I were trying to use the webrequest object to move a folder, say

move data/current

to data/previous/1/

however when i try to do it simply by setting source folder as source, target folder as destination, i have got the exception

The request URI is invalid for this FTP command.

should i not be doing that at all? how should i achieve this objective neatly?

I have found that I get this error when the request URI has a trailing slash (even if it is a directory). Try removing the last slash on data/previous/1/.
