I have several hundred files on the server that all need the file name renaming.
Several hundred files contain the name “Caption1” and this needs changing to “Comment”
What is the easiest way?

There will be various clever but scarily technical ways to do this
using grep or similar. But you could do this in a much more
Mac-friendly way by downloading the files, using Automator to do the
renaming, and uploading them again. And then removing the originals,
as they’ll still be there.

This is not just a files name swap - but part of the file name. Can tools like TextWrangler do this?
After a quick look in Automator, I think you need an applescript to do this.
Was hoping for something easier.
