How do I rename a file?
 

What is the command to rename a file from the commandline?

ren oldfilename newfilename i believe....btw shouldn't this be in ur manual or something?

just use mv....

if you want to rename /root/myfile.txt to /root/file.txt do this...

mv /root/myfile.txt /root/file.txt

:cool:

actually, ren is DOS, the linux command is mv, you move it from one filename to the other
so it would be 'mv oldfilename newfilename'

:D

whoops! you're right, I tend to confuse the two because many commands cross-reference...
