Just in case if you're getting Invalid Command when executing the RNFR and RNTO commands. Then use below you'll be able to move the files.

quote RNFR /from_path/filename.txt
quote RNTO /to_path/filename.txt

Just in case someone else will search for a solution to move files by ftp and will not find a solution: As I encountered the same problem and even the RNFR and RNTO will not work like in my case: I solved this by doing the following workaround:

mget files*.ext
cd /path/to/desired/folder/
mput files*.ext

This is twice the traffic (get and put) but for smaller files it is at least a solution.

In FTP client:

rename /public_html/upload/64/SomeMusic.mp3 /public_html/archive/2011/05/64/SomeMusic.mp3

With FTP commands:

RNFR /public_html/upload/64/SomeMusic.mp3
RNTO /public_html/archive/2011/05/64/SomeMusic.mp3
