My bad: I was thinking of bash; in LC the "move" command is for moving
controls but not file objects. To move files we use "rename".

Re: Rename File on Server not working?
Hi Richard,
The result says:
can't rename file (20)
I see that you are using a “move file” in your example.
The dictionary doesn’t show an example for moving a file.
I tried the following example to see what would happen:
move file OldImagePathAndFileName to tFileName
if the result is not empty then
put the result && "(" & sysError() &")"
end if
I’m getting: move: missing ‘to'
This seems rather bizarre to me.
Your thoughts?
Rick

It should. Try checking the result immediately after, and if not empty
call sysError() for the OS error number, e.g.:
move file tSrcPath to tDestPath
if the result is not empty then
put the result && "(" & sysError() &")"
end if

Rename File on Server not working?
Hi there, I was trying to use rename file on the Server in a .lc script to rename a file. It doesn’t seem to work at all. Can someone please let me know if it works on an LC Server?
