i assume you're using a perl-based online editor? just rename the directory you want to move everything to, and change the name of the directory with all your files to the former name of the other directory.

1. you have two directories, /butt/ & /---/ [just for example, of course]

2. your files are in /butt/

3. you want them to be in /---/

4. rename /---/ to /whatever/

5. rename /butt/ to /---/

6. rename /whatever/ to /butt/

7. now the files are in a directory called /---/ and not /butt/, yet you maintain the /butt/ folder.


there you go. if that doesn't work it's not my fault, you were too vague

Not renaming... from a folder to another folder... because i want to transfer everything in one account to another account

example:
original account: /home/account/acc1

new account: /home/account/acc2



/home/account/acc1/*.* ----> /home/account/acc2/*.*
