So today's video I'm going to show you how to rename, move, copy and delete files within the Lenox operating system.

So again, we're using a bun to 18.4 for the demonstrations today.

But this should be to say across any Lennox operating system, you should be able to use these commands.

There's no really tricks with these particular commands other than it is a little bit weird with the re naming process.

So important thing to understand in the Lenox world, at least at the command line, If you were going to a re a name a file, you actually use the move command instead, eh?

So this may seem just a little odd, so there's no specific a rien name command.

What you do is you use the move command the M A V command, and essentially you move the name of the file to be a different name of file.

So basically, if you just want to rename a file, you do m V what the old file name is what the new file name is, and that is the renaming process.

That's the only That's the only kind of weirdness and Lennox world just remember in order to rename, you actually use the move command.

Another demonstration I'm going to show you today.

So Bob is the owners of the files that were going to interacting with today s so I'm not going to need to use the soup command The Super User do command and order Thio interact with files for bleeding, for removing, copying anything like that.

I just realized that if you are not the owner So if you were administering a system and for some reason the files that you're dealing with, you're not the owners of those files you may have to plug in soo do beforehand in order to do some of these actions.

So if you're interacting with files that you're use your owns, we'll talk about permissions later.

Another video, Basically, you're dealing with files that you were user owns.

If you're dealing with files, your user account does not own you may have to plug in the studio in front of that in order to be able to do things such as delete the files.

Let's go over to the computer and I can show you how the commands work and how simple this is.

So here we are, at my a bunch of server again, This is just a standard about to 18.4 This is running within a virtual box.

Whatever server insulation you're using should work the same.

We have a user name of Bub and our super secret password of 123456 And then we hit Enter and we are now long dead.

So this command, it shows us what folder?

We're in the Bob folder within the home of older within the root directory.

So this will list the files and folders within the Bob for us.

So I know what's going on and so I can see that I have a folders.

There is a folder here called Folder that's in blue and there are no on their files.

The first thing that I'm going to do need is I'm going to need a file to work with and I need something to play around with.

And so I'm going to create a file and using them s Oh, I like them.

I've been getting so much crap about them.

So them is the file editor that I like to use press enter, and then we're going to give a name for them.

So basically, we're gonna create a new file called Test using them.

So them space, whatever the name of the file you wanted to be, is your going to hit Ener so we can see down here test new file.

So we have created a new file called Test.

I honestly do not care what is in this file.

So from here I will do colon, so colon breaks us out.

So colon gets us into to the little command within them.

And now we can see that I have a folder called Folder and a file called Test.

So since we're messing around with files now, we can deal with that.

So now that I have a file called Test, the first thing that I want to do is really a name that file eso In order to rename the file, I'm going to use the move command again.

For whatever reason, there is no specific rename command.

V is the movement space, Uh, the file that you're going to be moving or copying space and then where you want it to go on what you want the name to be.

So this is one of those things you have to be very careful about, because the move command is also reading command.

I think you do have to be careful about analytics World is.

You could be a moving a file and the exact same time accidentally a renamed the file.

Finally, you're moving some configuration file.

Let's say you move the file and fat finger it while you're doing it.

And then, if there are service's or other other things on the server that need to interact with that file, you may run into some issues.

So let's say you're moving a PHP dot I and I file for some reason.

And so you do envy, you know, PHP not I and I to tow wherever it's going.

And then instead of doing PHP dot I and II you do PHP I and II right as a terrifying.

So you move and renamed the PHP deny and I file and you might run into some issues.

Let's just call a backup file, So test not be a K.

So we're basically we are going to be changing the name of the file called Test to being tested up.

Unless we can see is we still have that folder that we had before, But now we no longer have a file called test.

We have a file called a test dot B a k s.

Someone move test B A k and going to move back to being a test.

And now we have the file called Test again.
