The exact line I typed was:
mv *JPG *jpg
The camera saved it's images as a <file>.JPG and capitalizations matter. The
files with the lowercase jpg behave as they should (I can put them on the
web). (nothing bad)

Simple question: I want to rename a file. So I type:
mv <file> <newfile>
It responds with telling me newfile is not a directory. I inspected man
mv and it seems I need to add the T option. Is this correct? (I don't
want to screw up the other files in the diredctory)
No you do not need the -T option.
You may want to show us the real command with arguments you typed.
Normally, you get the error about not being a directory when you have more
than two arguments and the final argument (the target) is not a directory.

You can't rename something to a wildcard. It's the second argument
that's causing a problem.
