You can use ssh to execute the mv command directly

ssh user@remotehost.tld mv file filenew

@elad It is working. (perhaps if you tell us *why* it's not working - error messages and the like - you'll get better guidance...) – voretaq7 Apr 20 '11 at 14:47

@elad: It does work, clearly your configuration is broken. If you tell us what thr error message is that you're getting then there is a chance we can help otherwise your on your own. – user9517 Apr 20 '11 at 14:53
