Silly Linux
Sometimes Linux is downright counter-intuitive. I have SSH command line access to my server and I wanted to rename a directory. Now I know that cp
is used to copy files so I try rn
. No luck. So I think perhaps they are being nice so I try rename
. This seems to work. But the file is not actually renamed. When I type the command on its on it says call: rename from to files
. Nice but not useful. After a quick search I find out how to do it: you need the move command. Well to be precise the mv
command. After a moment’s thought it does make sense but it is not intuitive…
