The current web interface for managing resources does not allow for renaming files and folders. On FME Server you generally will have other access to the filesystem (at least an admin would have), but on FME Cloud this is not the case and renaming a file would mean removing it and re-uploading it under a different name. So an option to rename files and folders through the resources interface would be very useful.

The ability to rename repositories in FME Server would also be appreciated. This is not possible through the web interface, and renaming the corresponding folder in Windows does not seem to work.

Moving to FME Server category as this is an issue that would need fixing on the FME Server codebase.

Trying to clean up a server that went without maintenance for years and not being able to rename the repositories is a big problem for us.

@aaronkoning Are there any plans to implement renaming repositories? Do people really handle renaming repositories by deleting, republishing and rescheduling workbenches?
