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.

I dont think so (would like to know ad well if there is something).

But I have used termux to login and batch rename stuff from command line.

If you’re asking for an android file manager app with a gui that will connect to sshfs, solid explorer does what you need but it isn’t foss.

Yeah my hope was some FOSS software does it but seems like no luck. I found several others that do this but not FOSS as you said. Thanks though.
