Implementations Description of the RENAME command of RT-11SJ displayed on a VT100. A notable exception to this rule is DOSBox, in which ren may be used to move a file, since move is not supported. On versions of MS-DOS that do not support the move command (older than 6.00), the user would simply copy the file to a new destination, and then delete the original file. Alternatively, move may be used if available. However, unlike mv, ren cannot be used to move files, as a new directory for the destination file may not be used. It is used to rename computer files and in some implementations (such as AmigaDOS ) also directories.
