what program command saves a copy of a file under a different name

3 hours ago 1

The command or program used to save a copy of a file under a different name depends on the operating system and context:

In Linux/Unix systems

The cp command is used to copy files. To save a copy of a file under a different name, the syntax is:
```
cp source_file destination_file
```

For example, to copy document.txt to backup.txt:

    cp document.txt backup.txt

This creates a new file backup.txt which is an exact copy of document.txt

Note that cp can rename a single file while copying, but when copying multiple files, it cannot rename each file individually in one command. For batch renaming while copying, scripting is required

In Windows systems

The COPY command in the Command Prompt can copy and rename a file in one step. The syntax is:
```
COPY source_file destination_file
```

For example, to copy current.txt to a new file named copy.txt in another folder:

    copy current.txt "My Documents\copy.txt"

This copies and renames the file simultaneously

In graphical applications (like Microsoft Word or image editors), the "Save As" command allows saving a file with a different name, creating a new copy while preserving the original

Summary

Operating System| Command/Method| Usage Example
---|---|---
Linux/Unix| cp| cp original.txt copy.txt
Windows CMD| COPY| copy file.txt "New Folder\file2.txt"
GUI Applications| "Save As" menu option| Save file with a new name

Thus, the most common command-line way to save a copy of a file under a different name is to use the cp command in Linux or the COPY command in Windows, specifying the new filename as the destination
