How I can move file on a SFTP server in PHP

Question

How can I move a file from one directory into another directory?

I have try this, but it doesn't work:

$success = @rename('ssh2.sftp://' . $sftp . $path_from, 'ssh2.sftp://' . $sftp . $path_to);
if ($success) {
    echo "moving success!";
}else {
    echo "moving failed!";
}

I'm using PHP SSH2 functions.

Can someone help me?

Use ssh2_sftp_rename :

ssh2_sftp_rename($sftp, $path_from, $path_to);

Assuming both variables contain full paths to files, eg like:

$path_from = "/source/directory/myfile.txt";
$path_to = "/destination/directory/myfile.txt";
