Sorry, I didn't try this properly. It seems that a problem still there. Here is
the command line I typed in:

curl -u username:password -Q "-RNFR fromfile" -Q "-RNTO fromfile.old" -O
ftps://ftps-site.com/DOWNLOAD/fromfile

The purpose is to download the file "fromfile" and rename it to "fromfile.old"
on the server after it is downloaded.

The file is downloaded successfully, but the rename part didn't work. Here is
what shows up on the screen when I run the above command line:

  % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

100 1436 100 1436 0 0 924 0 0:00:01 0:00:01 --:--:-- 0
curl: (21) QUOT string not accepted: RNFR CC050111_ack.txt

Can you please advise?
