File and folder are in fact objects in S3  You should use PUT OBJECT COPY to rename them  See http   docs aws amazon com AmazonS3 latest API RESTObjectCOPY html

In the AWS console  if you navigate to S3  you will see your folders listed   If you navigate to the folder  you will see the object  s  listed    right click and you can rename    OR  you can check the box in front of your object  then from the pull down menu named ACTIONS  you can select rename   Just worked for me  3-31-2019

There is no direct method to rename a file in S3  What you have to do is copy the existing file with a new name  just set the target key  and delete the old one

There is no way to rename a folder through the GUI  the fastest  and easiest if you like GUI  way to achieve this is to perform an plain old copy  To achieve this  create the new folder on S3 using the GUI  get to your old folder  select all  mark  copy  and then navigate to the new folder and choose  paste   When done  remove the old folder   This simple method is very fast because it is copies from S3 to itself  no need to re-upload or anything like that  and it also maintains the permissions and metadata of the copied objects like you would expect

S3DirectoryInfo has a MoveTo method that will move one directory into another directory  such that the moved directory will become a subdirectory of the other directory with the same name as it originally had   The extension method below will move one directory to another directory  i e  the moved directory will become the other directory   What it actually does is create the new directory  move all the contents of the old directory into it  and then delete the old one   public static class S3DirectoryInfoExtensions       public static S3DirectoryInfo Move this S3DirectoryInfo fromDir  S3DirectoryInfo toDir                if  toDir Exists              throw new ArgumentException  Destination for Rename operation already exists    toDir            toDir Create            foreach  var d in fromDir EnumerateDirectories                d MoveTo toDir           foreach  var f in fromDir EnumerateFiles                f MoveTo toDir           fromDir Delete            return toDir
