I ran a script that creates an oracle tablespace but I forgot to change the path in the script. The alter tablespace script contained data2. Normally if you want to rename a datafile, you put the tablespace offline and rename that file. I get the error:
mv <oracle path>data2.dbf data2.dbf
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
So, how do I rename a file with characters containing <>?

You need to escape the space, less than and greater than characters using a backslash:
Should work.
