Hello
It could be, that the Pathname is to long.
I had problems like this too.
First you could try shorter folder names.
I solved the problem with something like this.
$unixRequest:="mv -f "+"\""+$unixPathSource+"\""+" \""+$unixPathTarget+"\""
unix_execute($unixRequest)
and in 4D the method unix_execute
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS($tRequest;$unix_In;unix_Out;unix_Err)
Regards Oliver
