RENAME "oldname" "newname"

 

This command does not support wildcards but you may be able to use the DOSCMD command to accomplish a multi-file rename:

 

SET temp = 'ren "*.txt" "*.old"' ;; note use of double quotes within single quotes

DOSCMD temp

 

To rename a file on the FTP site, use the FTPRENAME script command.
