Rename files from upper case filename to lower case (in bash)
This is not really a fresh new post, more just a reminder ;-)
Here is a way to rename files in bash, from upper case filenames to lowercase ones
for i in *; do mv $i `echo $i | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`; done

Are you missing a ´? And you should replace it with $() -- so it should become $(echo $i | tr [:upper:])
But at least this doens't work out for me. :-(
As you can see it here:
$ echo "kickino" | tr -s [:lower:] [:upper:]
KICKINO
You had to specify both sets to convert it, I think.
Have a great day.

Yep, I may have miss the () as my file names were pretty simple...

Two more ways from my side
$ ls | while read file

$ ls | while read file
