 How to Rename a File in Linux Ubuntu


1.Open the Terminal: Press 'Ctrl + Alt + T' to launch the Terminal. This is where all the magic happens.



2.Navigate to the Directory: Use the `cd` command followed by the path of the directory where your file is located. For example, if your file is on the desktop, type 

'cd Desktop'.



3.Identify the File: Confirm the name of the file you want to rename by using the 'ls' command. This will list all the files in the directory.



4.Rename the File: To rename a file, use the `mv` command followed by the current filename and the new filename. For instance, if you want to rename a file named `oldfile.txt` to 'newfile.txt', type 'mv oldfile.txt newfile.txt'.


atOptions = { 'key' : '6698750e50579a4aab37e25c008fbb36', 'format' : 'iframe', 'height' : 90, 'width' : 728, 'params' : {} };


5.Verify the Change: Once you've entered the command, press 'Enter'. The file will now be renamed. You can double-check by using the `ls` command again to see the updated file name in the directory listing.



And that's it!
