to rename file/directory press F2 or select "rename" from popup menu

note, that directory should be empty in order to delete it.
to write file/directory, drag-and-drop it from windows explorer to desired directory on phone.

or you can buy ready cable from GPG industries http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=613936

for LG A2 phones with Micro-B USB connector you need standart micro-usb cable and simple trick - in order to enable boot mode,
connect points DCIO and VPP together (see photo). after you finish working with phone - DISCONNECT points, otherwise battery will be drained in 2-3 hours.
