With the help of this command, you can copy the file in the specified directory to any directory or the directory you are in with a different name. In my previous article, we created a text file named textfile, let’s change its name to text1 with the cp command.

cp copy_request_filename file to rename

With the help of the cp command above, we copied the textfile with a new name called text1.
