Moving 100Mbs of Files/folders to a new sub-domain

[Macksphotograph]

What am I doing wrong here....
I am currently trying to test how POWWEB works on my temp URL. Having got the Database i wanted working correctly on that URL I am trying to move the complete contents of one folder into the new sub-domain folder in preperation for DNS transfer, however doing this via a simple copy/paste in WS_FTP tells me its going to take 5hrs to move 100Mbs.

Is this correct or am i doing something really stupid here ???

Thanks

Drag the folder into the arrow icon and go up a folder, then drag it into the arrow again, go up a folder until u reach the main place when u log in ur ftp, then drag it into the folder name of ur subdomain, then go into ur subdomain folder and rename the folder to htdocs and there ya go.

Alof of FTP clients have a 'Move' function. Most of the time you have to right-click to see the option.

Depending on your situation, you could also keep the files where they are, and use .htaccess to redirect to the subdomain to that folder.
