MV COMMAND

I have a script with mv to rename a *.file to 1 and it runs fine when I am in the winscp> prompt but when I call a script it fails to rename the file.

cd /remotefolder/
put -filemask=>8K;|>1D; *.bin /remotefolder/
rm 1
mv *.bin 1

Do I need to call the full path?

mv /remotefolder/*.bin /remotefolder/1

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the session log file, use /log=path_to_log_file command-line argument. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.

I am just removing the old 1 and rename %random%.file to 1. Should I try "rename" alias? Could it be the * in the mv command might expect more that one file and I am just rename one file?

script

rm 1 
mv *.file 1 
ls
mv *.file 1 
mv *.file 1
mv *.file 1
mv *.file 1
mv *.file 1
exit

log
