Hi DM,ããIf one wanted to move a file from one Filebase to another, I don't see a specific function in the JS object model documentation for doing so. Would this be the correct way?ãã1. Get the file's metadata object using FileBase.get(filename,ãFileBase.DETAIL.EXTENDED)ãã2. Remove the file from the FileBase using FileBase.remove(filename, false)ãã3. Move the file to the other filebase directory, open that filebase, and use FileBase.Add(meta-data object)ãããI'm wondering if this will preserve stats such as the total number of downloads for the file, etc.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

As I've been working on my file lister, I've implemented a sysop action to move a file from one FileBase to another and have implemented it as above for now.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã
