I guess you can't really do this with FTP. What you can do is download the file you want to copy and then upload it with a new name. For example:

        try
        {
            WebClient request = new WebClient();
            request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass);
            byte[] data = request.DownloadData(host);
            MemoryStream file = new MemoryStream(data);
            Upload(data);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {

        }

    ...

    private void Upload(byte[] buffer)
    {
        try
        {
            FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(newname);

            request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
            request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass);

            Stream reqStream = request.GetRequestStream();
            reqStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            reqStream.Close();

            var resp = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {

        }
    }
