I want to connect to my server via ssh on my phone, then rename a bunch of files with a batch rename function. Are there any open source file managers that do that?

I checked Ghost Commander but didn’t look like there is a batch rename function, neither for Material Files. Unless I miss something.

    Huh, I tested a few things and you are right. However, it only works with files on my local phone storage. If you connect via ssh to another machine remotely, you cannot batch rename files. It just shows the normal rename. Weird.

      Right, I guess that tends to be the case with file managers if you try to use these features on something else than regular local files.
