Renaming files (request)

Wed May 18, 2022 1:26 pm

I was looking for ways to rename files on RouterOS.

Why? I like to modify my backup script, so that it only sends backup/export files if file size are change.
Testing for size is simple, so after backup is send, I will rename export to old_export file. Next run test size and if different send new export.

I did find a way to use FTP to rename the file, but problem with that is that you need a user with Full capability (write is not enough) and you need FTP services to run.

Normis told in 2008! that he would look inn to move files (that would help):
viewtopic.php?p=117066#p117066
So not much has change in 14 years???

So this is a request to be able to move and rename files within scripts.

Probably nobody bothered to submit a new feature request.
Feel free to do so on https://help.mikrotik.com
There's a section named "Suggest a new feature" in there.
