Hi, 

somehow my answer didn't come through to the list; apologies if it now
appears twice.

Use the 'rename' function:

(v1 and v2 are directories; v2 is empty, v1 contains file.old)

octave2.9:1> pwd
/tmp/v1
octave2.9:2> ls
file.old
octave2.9:3> rename ('file.old', '../v2/file.new')
ans = 0
octave2.9:4> ls
octave2.9:5> ls ../v2
file.new
