Renaming Remote Files 

You can rename remote files using the RENAME command as follows: 

     ftp> RENAME remotefile newfile

To rename a file in other than the working directory on a UNIX-type
system, include the directory name with the newfile parameter as you
normally would on the UNIX system as follows:

     ftp> RENAME remotefile directoryname/newfile


CAUTION  If the new file name you specify already exists on the remote
         system, the remote system may overwrite the existing file
         without warning.
