NAME

       libssh2_sftp_rename_ex - rename an SFTP file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libssh2.h> #include <libssh2_sftp.h>

       int  libssh2_sftp_rename_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP  *sftp,  const char *source_filename, unsigned int source_filename_len, const char *dest_filename,
       unsigned int dest_filename_len, long flags);

       int libssh2_sftp_rename_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *source_filename, const char *dest_filename);

DESCRIPTION

       sftp - SFTP instance as returned by libssh2_sftp_init(3)

       sourcefile - Path and name of the existing filesystem entry

       sourcefile_len - Length of the path and name of the existing filesystem entry

       destfile - Path and name of the target filesystem entry

       destfile_len - Length of the path and name of the target filesystem entry

       flags - Bitmask flags made up of LIBSSH2_SFTP_RENAME_* constants.

       Rename a filesystem object on the remote filesystem. The semantics of this command typically include the ability to move a filsystem object
       between	folders  and/or filesystem mounts. If the LIBSSH2_SFTP_RENAME_OVERWRITE flag is not set and the destfile entry already exists, the
       operation will fail. Use of the other two flags indicate a preference (but not a requirement) for the  remote  end  to  perform	an  atomic
       rename operation and/or using native system calls when possible.

RETURN VALUE

       Return 0 on success or negative on failure.  It returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a
       negative number, it isn't really a failure per se.

ERRORS

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC -  An internal memory allocation call failed.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT -

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid SFTP protocol response was received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to	be
       returned by the server.
