 find . -type f -exec mv {} $(date +%Y-%m-%d)_{} ;​

But getting ‘Can’t move, no such file or directory error’, but appending works well with below command, not sure what is the difference between two.

 find . -type f -exec mv {} {}.$(date +%Y-%m-%d) ;

 find . -type f -exec mv {} {}.$(date +%Y-%m-%d) ;​

Try this

find . -type f -exec mv {} $(date +%Y-%m-%d)$(basename {}) ;

find . -type f -exec mv {} $(date +%Y-%m-%d)$(basename {}) ;​
