Hello,

In my storage directory I have a directory called "Accordéon Melancolique" ( minus the quotes )
When I try to enter this directory in the filemanager I get: Invalid path or access denied for user 'bill'
I think this is caused by the é
How do I rename the directory?
In filemanager there is no action "rename"

On the command line I tried the mv command:
bill@zefod:/home/storage/music/MP3's$ mv Accordéon\ Melancolique/ Accordeon\ Melancolique/
mv: target `Accordeon Melancolique/' is not a directory: No such file or directory
??

i guess you got linux as operating system on your pc?
well, i'm using windows. which goes vey easy for renameing.

do you got the default settings like nobody = all rights or did you set a specific user for access to the folder? as mentioned you got a user named bill created on bubba. if linux works similar to windows you may need a user bill on pc and bubba with same password. otherwise normally you will get the network login mask.

I think the philosophy of the filemanager in bubba admin is as following:
creating direcotry, move the files from old to new one and then delete the old.

Maybe you have to down and upload files.

Regarding the filemanager, we have just confirmed and located the problem, and will release an upgrade for it as soon as possible;
