it turns out it was something was slowing down the remote processor big time. it wasn't winscp's fault it was mostly user error. but thanks for the good support.

now that i think about it i'll putty into it and do a find. i'll let you know if i locate the files i need.

yes i can

Do not know. Can you reproduce the problem?

I was logged into a remote machine and selected to directories, I right clicked, selected move to... and typed in ../

I intended to move the two directories into the parent directory but the two directories just disappeared.

Can anyone tell me where they went?

Thanks.
