I'm using Fetch 4.0.3

Drag and Drop
Beginning with System 7.5, the Mac OS includes drag-and-drop
capabilities for moving information within and between Macintosh
applications. Fetch takes advantage of this facility to make moving
files, shortcuts, text, and preference information as convenient as
possible. You can use drag-and-drop in the following situations:
To download a remote file or directory, drag it from a file list or
shortcut list to a Finder icon, window, or the desktop.
To delete a remote file or directory, drag it from a file list to the
Finder or OS X Dock trash icon.
To upload a file or folder, drag it to a transfer window or directory
shortcut (in a shortcut list).
To move a file or directory into a subdirectory, drag it to the
subdirectory icon.
To move a file or directory up a directory level, drag it to the
open-folder icon above the file list.
To copy a file or directory into a subdirectory, drag it to the
subdirectory icon with the Option key pressed.
To copy a file or directory up a directory level, drag it to the
open-folder icon above the file list with the Option key pressed.
To transfer a file or directory between servers, drag it to another
open transfer window.
To create a shortcut for a remote item drag it to a shortcut list
window.
To create a shortcut for the current directory drag the open-folder
icon to a shortcut list window.
To create a shortcut file for the current directory drag the
open-folder icon to a Finder icon, window, or the desktop.
Dragging shortcuts between shortcut list windows moves them (or copies
them if the Option key is held down).
To delete a shortcut from a shortcut list drag it to the Finder or OS
X Dock trash icon.
To copy the URL of a remote item or shortcut drag it to an application
that accepts text drags (such as Stickies or BBEdit).
Selected text can be dragged from text windows.
To specify the download folder, drag a Finder file or folder icon to
the Preferences checkbox.
To specify the default type and creator bytes, drag a Finder file icon
to the Preferences text fields.
To specify your preferred text editor, drag its icon or the icon of
one of its documents to the Preferences text editor pop-up menu.

Use the command key to select the files you want to move, but remember,
this in *Fetch* <http://fetchsoftworks.com>. I'd be surprised if other
ftp agents didn't offer similar functionality. Fetch is commercial ware.
Not expensive but commercial.
Oh, and one other **big** caveat. I've never moved a bunch of files up a
level :-) I've never needed to. I generally do that from my machine and
delete the original directory on the server after success.
