Transfer attachments from child to parent object

Are there any ways to move attachment files (under Notes & Attachments related list) from  a chiled object to parent object? like  through eclipse/dataloader API etc...? Any suggestions?

I did go through this post is still in ideas and yet to be implemented (https://success.salesforce.com/ideaview?id=08730000000BrAVAA0)

Hi Chandra :)

I'm afraid that you would need to code if you want to do that. You'll need to retrieve the Parent object ID and assign it to the attachment instead of the child object ID. 

I think there's no other way to do it.

Kind regards,

Carlos.
