Renaming a Folder

Managing your files includes the renaming of folders and files to match the actual contents. Folders can only be renamed one at a time. When naming your folders and files, the names should contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and the underscore or dash character. Problems might occur if special characters are present within a filename. Examples of good filenames: pdf_files (for a folder) or my_new_file.htm (for a file).
To rename a folder within the File Manager:

Step 1. From the File Manager, click ActionLinks to the left of the folder to be renamed. A menu will appear:


Step 2. Click Rename on the ActionLinks menu (see screenshot above).

Step 3. Type a new name for the folder and click OK.
