How to rename a folder in ADF(Azure data factory) pipeline

Question

I am relatively new to azure. I just want to know is there any way to rename a folder using azure pipeline. Any help will be appreciated

Per my understanding, i think your question is equivalent to asking:

how to execute windows commands or scripts to manipulate vm file system in ADF.

There is no direct way based on my knowledge because ADF is used for data transfer mostly. As a workaround,you could consider the agency model.

1.Create an API and expose it in the on-premise environment. Its responsibility is to accept the parameters and rename the local folder according to the specified parameters.

2.Use Web Activity to call the expose API,pass the target folder name as parameters to that API.

Anyway, ADF has little value in this process, unless you have to do something else in ADF.
