Rename

AI-generated

Summary

Renames a file or folder in Synology File Station.

Inputs

  • filePath (required) — Full path to the file or folder to rename, e.g. /OpenClaw/file.txt.
  • newName (required) — New name for the file or folder. Only the name changes; the item stays in the same folder.

Output shape

DSM API response object

Returns the raw JSON response from the successful DSM File Station rename call. If Continue On Fail is enabled, failed items return JSON with error and details instead of throwing.

Examples

Example 1: For each input item, the node reads File Path and New Name, then calls the DSM File Station rename API with path=filePath and name=newName. The item is renamed in place within the same parent directory; New Name is the new base name, not a new path. The node attempts SYNO.FileStation.Rename first and falls back to SYNO.FileStation.Manage if the DSM API reports the API/method/version is unavailable. It returns the DSM API response JSON.
