You can just 'mv' a file so example
Code:
mv foo.txt foo.old

Would rename foo.txt to foo.old. Lol ooops you said to all files. Give me a second to get home, I'm driving

it shouldn't say that .csh must be a directory, we specified ' -type f ' meaning it's a file not a directory. Make sure you type in the command exactly or just copy and paste if your shell allows it. If you specified ' -type d ' then it would be looking for a directory.
