FTP: Speed of moving files from one directory to another

Okay, apologies for the very amateurish question here. I've got a 5GB folder images that I will soon be moving from /uploads to /archives/2011/uploads (i.e. another directory on the same server). If I do this by FTP (in a GUI client), can this move be done instantaneously or will it take hours for the files to go across?

You can simply rename the remote folder from /uploads to /archives/2011/uploads.
