Hmmmm. I've had mixed success with a range of WebDAV clients on a range
of operating systems - not all seem to handle renaming files/folders.

I've been meaning to ask the list about this for some time. This
is a real PITA. I infer it to be a ZServer issue (no ftp client
I've tried supports renaming).

With marvellous tools like HMTL-Kit, Homesite (Dreamweaver when
I get my hands on it), etc it really is a bit of a let down when
a well-integrated ftp tool is hobbled by the lack of ZServer
support for rename.

Is this something that is easy to fix? It would be a major
Quick Win in my book.
