Hi, you can execute your first option with a single command: find Files -depth -exec rename -v -f 's/(.*)\/([^\/]*)/$1\/\L$2/' {} \+

Might be easier in a for loop using var substitution.

$ for i in ./*; do echo $i ${i,,}; done

Replace "echo" with "mv".

Does this command also work in CentOS 7?

# find Files -depth | xargs -n 1 rename -v 's/(.*)\/([^\/]*)/$1\/\L$2/' {} \;

I don’t get an error but it doesn’t seem to work.

Is it also possible to prepare this command so that spaces are replaced by a _ or –
