Either via the menu "File -> Save As..." or with the key combination
"C-x C-w" (remember as "write to file".

May I add a quick tip: C-x C-s is the equivalent of "save as...".

Didn't you mean C-x C-w (as the "'save-as" equivalent) ?
C-x C-s saves the current buffer.

No. C-x C-s is "save buffer", which would just write the buffer
back to the *same file* you loaded the file from. Of course,
if the buffer is new and not yet associated to a file, it would
be the same...
If you want to state the path to save to (and that's hw I read
the original poster's request "save a file to a specified
directory", but I must admit it's not very clear to me), then
C-x C-w is your friend.
