Assistance needed with C language - rename function between Windows & Linux

[Maccy]

I need to use the rename function in C to move a file from a Windows box to a Linux box.
I've got the basic syntax -

rename(C:\Temp\filename1.txt, srv452\home\sag\temp\filename1.txt)

I can get it working on Windows to Windows, but Windows to Linux doesn't seem to work. Is there a different syntax/folder structure setup I should be using?
Linux is a bit new to me and I'm a bit of programming noob so any assistance is greatly appreciated!

That's probably the linux file path naming. it doesn't use C: or backslash. Linux uses / as the root directory.

I'd not use rename at all. It's old and outdated - not taking into account the different FS conventions etc.
