Greetings,

i can't seem to solve this one. I'm trying to rename a file on a file system but i keep getting this error:

my input on file path:

\\myServer\BAM\LABORATORIJ\LABORATORIJ 2025\GEOMEHANIKA\24 6014 NOGRAD - GM, d.o.o._Betonarna Lendava_sdasdsad.xlsm

output of the connector:

{
  "status": 400,
  "message": "The requested action could not be completed. Check your request parameters to make sure the path '\\\\myServer\\BAM\\LABORATORIJ\\LABORATORIJ 2025\\GEOMEHANIKA/24 6014 NOGRAD - GM, d.o.o._Betonarna Lendava_sdasdsad.xlsm' exists on your file system.\r\nclientRequestId: e9eb9c4b-d560-4d5d-b4e4-09b98897cf4d",
  "error": {
    "message": "The requested action could not be completed. Check your request parameters to make sure the path '\\\\winserver\\BAM\\LABORATORIJ\\LABORATORIJ 2025\\GEOMEHANIKA/24 6014 NOGRAD - GM, d.o.o._Betonarna Lendava_sdasdsad.xlsm' exists on your file system."
  },
  "source": "filesystem-we.azconn-we-003.p.azurewebsites.net"
}
 
I'm already creating a file with file system connector and it works fine. I can also get file meta data with my input path. I have tried using path and ID from the metadata result as my input but i get the same error. Even if i choose file from directly from the file system i get the same error.
 
The only way i was able to make it work, if i used the action List files in a folder, and then used the output to rename it with Apply for all, but that's not really what i want.

Hey @Sayan,

thanks you for trying, but i have already answered it. The file i was trying to rename with my flow was opened and that's why it didn't work. I closed the file and then the Rename File Connector worked.
