Is there a way to rename files in a ftp connection?

Maybe I just didn’t find the option, but it seems to basic that it can’t be missing.

Hi Stephan,

you just need to select the file or folder that you want to rename and then click on the name again; after that you should be able to rename it.

Alternatively, you can either press the “enter key” on the numpad or if you don’t have a numpad, just press “fn+return”.

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Germar Tischler

Thank you - could you change the keyboard commands to match those in macOS?

So Enter would rename, CMD+o would open the folder or file, …

Probably publish this as a setting, as it would make it way more intutive for Mac users.

Thank you for your fast response.

Kind regards
