if your provider's support FXP, you can do a server to server move which is much faster.

if you have ssh, you could use scp.
scp -rp directory user@1.2.3.4:newdirectory

if you have ssh, and rsync, you could use rsync.
rsync -ap --delete directory/ user@1.2.3.4:newdirectory/

Thanks to you I know actually understand the above and use it all the time but I'm surprised that you didn't add the verbose flag to the above so that she can watch what is going on.

That would be
rsync -apv --delete directory/ user@1.2.3.4:newdirectory

Depending on what's happening the verbose flag can send a lot of data to your workstation and isn't the idea to keep your workstations's wire out the process?

I'll often do a test with a verbose flag but almost never use it at othe times.
