Rename Many Files Safely

easy 10 XP ~5 minHands-on lab

A photo import produced files with the extension .jpeg, but the website only serves .jpg.

Task

In /srv/lab/photos (not in subdirectories), rename every file ending in .jpeg so that it ends in .jpg instead, keeping the rest of the name exactly the same.

  • Some names contain spaces.
  • Files with other extensions, and everything in /srv/lab/photos/originals, must stay untouched.
  • Do not create copies — rename.
