How to make a copy of file in the same directory

Question

This creates a file in the same directy as 'some.file.bak'.

find /home/ -ipath "*/temp/some.file" -type f  -exec cp {} {}.bak \;

How to make a copy in another name such as 'another.file' in the same directory as some.file instead of 'some.file.bak'.

Answer 1

find /home/ -ipath "*/temp/some.file" -type f -execdir cp {} another.file \;

You just have to change exec to execdir from the other answer (sorry I cannot post it as a comment yet).

The execdir option states, according to find's man page:

-execdir command {} +

Like -exec, but the specified command is run from the subdirectory containing the matched file, which is not normally the directory in which you started find.

Answer 2

find /home/ -ipath "*/temp/some.file" -type f  -exec cp {} another.file \;
