Hi guys, I’ve uploaded a bunch of files into their respective File Destinations, but I’d now like to shuffle some around.
Could I just do this via my FTP client, or will that upset ExpressionEngine’s recollection of where things are?

If any of the files have been associated with Channel entries, then those fields will not change to represent the new folders automatically of course. If that is not an issue you should be able to move the files just fine. If you are moving entire upload folders you will need to re-associate the upload folders as well.

Hi, and thanks for the reply!
None of the files have been associated with anything at all at this stage.
My plan was to move some of the PDFs from the “PDFs » Brochures” folder to the “PDFs » Products” folder, via my FTP client. So if that’s doable, that’ll be great!
