The difference between the two functions is that <codeph>Rename()</codeph> will return an error if a file with the new name already exists in the target directory whereas <codeph>Replace()</codeph> will overwrite it. Another way to move files is to use <codeph>CFileMan::Move()</codeph>. This may be used to move multiple files.</p> </li> </ul> </section> </conbody></concept>
