  • Remote Path (required) — The current path of the file or folder to be renamed or moved on the SMB share.
  • New Path (required) — The new path or name for the file or folder after renaming or moving it.
  • Overwrite If Exists — If set to true and the destination path already exists as a file, delete the existing file before renaming. Overwriting existing directories is not supported.
