renaming a file....

i can rename a file in the current dir

is there a way to be in a parent dir, and rename a file in a child dir?

i can use the find cmd, and generate the files i want to rename. however, my
attempts at using the find . -name "foo" | xargs rename... doesn't seem to
work, as the rename is coming back saying that the file doesn't exist..

it seems that the rename is operating on files in the current dir, as
opposed to the files from the 'find'....

thanks
