Hi,
I can't rename files on my external drive in Ubuntu. I've tried a few things that people have posted about Nautilus. But this is not Nautilus - the application is just called 'Files'.

If you type nautilus in a shell you will find it opens the 'Files' ... :-) Try it.

Usually when you have input/output errors your harddrive may have developed bad sectors
or the file itself may be corrupt.  

I tried your exact filename with the '?' and mv and cp both work fine for me. No issues.
