I think ren command is used for renaming a file.

If you use mv command on file in the same directory then it works as rename.

If you have a file the name of that file is one.txt you use mv command then $mv one.txt two.txt then here one.txt file name changed to the two.txt.

If you have filename as: file1.

Let's change its name to myfile using mv:

$mv file1 myfile.

That's it simple!
