I have downloaded a large file about 2gigs from remote server but by mistake I gave it name . (dot).
How can I rename it using linux commands ?

I don't think you really have named it
.
. Or at least, you cannot have done so successfully.The name
.
is reserved for the current directory. So either it has been given another name implicitly, or it has been removed/discarded.Try
to find if there is any file with this size, and if so, verify if it can be the file you look for.
