How To Copy The File

[karthickkuchanur]

Dear All ,
May i know how to copy the file from source to destination folder in java
if it is any class available in java

Or i have read the Source File from content and write it into a destination folder file
if it is any class for copying the files means it very useful for me

Open the API specs for the File class and check the methods there.

There no such method to copy the file from source to destination

If reading that little bit of API documentation didn't give you that tickling feeling
of curiosity to read more then programming is absolutely not for you.

kind regards,

Ok, you're about sure that you can't copy a file by just using the File class. And
now what? Are you simply going to wait until somebody else takes you by the
hand and solves the problem for you? If so, programming is not for you. Go and
read the API documentation; the solution is in there; hint: FileInputStream and
FileOutputStrea m.

There is no ready-made method that copies a file, as far as I know.
Maybe because it's so short and easy to do it yourself.

More hints:
If you already have defined the fileInputStream and fileOutputStrea m and the "byte[] buffer = new byte[4096]", and "int bytesRead", then you need only 2 lines more of source code to copy the file, using a while-loop. hint: read about read() and write() methods of the streams!

There is a method called renameTo. What does it do? How can you use it to simulate a copy in a few steps?

Thanks a lot
