rsync and rename help pls
 
hi all

I have a number of files in different directories, these files all have the same file name. I need to rsync these files across to another sever and rename them. i dont really care much what they get renamed too.

Any ideas?

Now that we are all aware of your 'needs'. What are your 'deeds'?

Why do you need to rename them? Surely you want the updated versions of those files? The naming convention seems to include enough info to naturally avoid overwriting files that aren't the same. eg Id, sub-id, date, time.

You could just put them in a new dir, that'd prob be easiest.
