I am using terminal on linux. I am in my current folder now. I want to take a file in this folder that I am currently in and copy it in the exact same folder and I also want to rename it. What command should I use?

Copy command works well. <pre class="prettyprint"><code>cp /currentfolder/filename /currentfolder/newfilename </code></pre>
