Looking at
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/ftp-objects.html
you can see that FTP objects offer a rename operation, with the
signature .rename(fromname, toname). So the sample illustrating
renaming would look like
ftp = ftplib.FTP(server, user, pass)
# if needed, do ftp.cwd(directory) here
ftp.rename(fromname, toname)
Which of these three lines was unclear from the documentation?

Martin
