SFTP Version 6: 8.3. Removing and Renaming Files byte SSH_FXP_RENAME uint32 request-id string oldpath [UTF-8] string newpath [UTF-8] uint32 flags where 'request-id' is the request identifier, 'oldpath' is the name of an existing file or directory, and 'newpath' is the new name for the file or directory. 'flags' is 0 or a combination of: SSH_FXF_RENAME_OVERWRITE 0x00000001 SSH_FXF_RENAME_ATOMIC 0x00000002 SSH_FXF_RENAME_NATIVE 0x00000004 If the server cannot support the requested mode of operation, it must return SSH_FX_OP_UNSUPPORTED. If flags does not include SSH_FXP_RENAME_OVERWRITE, and there already exists a file with the name specified by newpath, the server MUST respond with SSH_FX_FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS. If flags includes SSH_FXP_RENAME_ATOMIC, and the destination file already exists, it is replaced in an atomic fashion. I.e., there is no observable instant in time where the name does not refer to either the old or the new file. SSH_FXP_RENAME_ATOMIC implies SSH_FXP_RENAME_OVERWRITE. If 'SSH_FXP_RENAME_OVERWRITE' is not present, and the server does not support this mode natively, it MAY emulate it by checking for the existance of a file before executing the rename operation. If the 'SSH_FXF_RENAME_ATOMIC' is specified without the the 'SSH_FXP_RENAME_OVERWRITE', then the server MUST be able to perform the check and rename operation atomically. Because some servers cannot provide atomic rename, clients should only specify atomic rename if correct operation requires it. If SSH_FXP_RENAME_OVERWRITE is specified, the server MAY perform an atomic rename even if it is not requested. If flags includes SSH_FXP_RENAME_NATIVE, the server is free to do the rename operation in whatever fashion it deems appropriate. Other flag values are considered hints as to desired behavior, but not requirements. The server will respond to this request with a SSH_FXP_STATUS message.
