You rename a file or directory using the mv command. You don't necessarily have to move the directory to another location. For example, if you had a directory full of files in the current path called test, and you issued the command:
mv test test.renamed when you listed the contents of the current directory, test would be gone and test.renamed would be there, with the contents of test contained inside. Hope this helps, Rob ---------- Hi all Does somebody know if there's some command to *rename* either a file or directory in Linux. I don't want to move them to another files/dirs.
