Got me going crazy? unable to rename using mv command!!!
It's too hard to believe i cannot rename the file using mv.
when i tried to raname a regular file named ftp.tmp to FTP.TMP. i typed the following command as: mv "ftp.tmp" "FTP.TMP" but i was prompted that i cannot change the name. mv: ftp.tmp and FTP.TMP are the same file. leaving the file ftp.tmp totally untouched. i assure u that there r no file named FTP.TMP aready exist. who can tell me why, im totally puzzled. |
It should work. Perhaps try it without the quotes.

You are likely using a case insensitive filesystem, like FAT.
Try: Code:
mv ftp.tmp _ftp.tmp |

it really is a vfat filesystem. but the way using tem to translate the lowercase filename to uppercase one does not word as expected. anyway, i know that's why. TKU :) jllagre. tku rkelsen & deadesys all the same. |
