Rename File

Files can be renamed from one name to another.

• A new file metadata transaction is created when a user wants to rename an existing file.

• The new file metadata transaction reuses the existing file’s File-Id and copies all of it’s old metadata values, but the file’s name field in its Data JSON must be updated to the new file name and extension.

  • For private files, a new Cipher-IV is generated for this new metadata transaction.

• File’s must not be allowed to be renamed to the name of another file with that same name in that same folder.
