./filename.bin when you are in the directory of the file, otherwise type the full path of the file. The reason you must include ./ when running executables from the current directory is security. Imagine someone plants a harmfull executable called 'cp' in some directory. When you want to use the copy command, while in that directory, the executable in the current directory would take precedence. ./ makes sure you want to run the executable in the current directory and not a globaly set command.
