File Not Found

But trying to rename the long file OR the Dos file isn't permitted either:

C:\TEMP\downloads\nutch-2003-11-17\www.greece101.com>REN WCTPRO~4.ACT
WCTPRO~7.ACT
The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\TEMP\downloads\nutch-2003-11-17\www.greece101.com>REN WCTPRO~4.ACT
TEST1.ACT
The system cannot find the path specified.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Zeb
