How to move directory and attached files to another directory on ftp server via ftp_rename?
I try to do as described in the manual, but it does not work. Tell me what I'm doing wrong.

$old_path="2014/$company/$id/";
$new_path=".trash/$company/$id/";
$ftp_server = "xx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
$ftp_user_name = "xxx_xxxxx";  
$ftp_user_pass = "xxxxxxxx"; 
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server,21);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
if (ftp_rename($conn_id, $old_path, $new_path)) {
echo "Файлы $old_path перемещены в $new_path\n";
} else {
echo "Не удалось переместить $old_path в $new_path\n";
}

Answer 1

everything is correct (almost)
the only nuance in which you need to "dig" is the correct location of $old_path and $new_path
according to the described code, it should be so that 2014 and .trash should be in the same location ZY
. while writing - another thought came that .trash/$company might not be automatically created. therefore, it is better to first check (and create, if necessary) the folder (s), and only then move
yes, by the way, the last / is not needed in the paths
