Java Program to Copy File
In this tutorial, we will learn to copy files in Java.
The Java File
class doesn’t provide any method to copy one file to another. However, we can use Java I/O Streams
to read content from one file and write to another.
Example: Copy files using i/o streams
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
class Main{
public static void main(String[] args){
byte[] array = new byte[50];
try {
FileInputStream sourceFile = new FileInputStream("input.txt");
FileOutputStream destFile = new FileOutputStream("newFile");
// reads all data from input.txt
sourceFile.read(array);
// writes all data to newFile
destFile.write(array);
System.out.println("The input.txt file is copied to newFile.");
// closes the stream
sourceFile.close();
destFile.close();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.getStackTrace();
}
}
}
Output
The input.txt file is copied to newFile.
In the above example, we have used the FileInputStream
and FileOutputStream
to copy one file to another.
Here,
FileInputStream
reads all the content from input.txt to an arrayFileOutputStream
writes all the content from the array to newFile
Note:
- The
FileUtils
class oforg.apache.commons.io
package provides thecopyFile()
method to copy the file. - The
Files
class ofjava.nio
package provides thecopy()
method to copy the file.

Two Machine Learning Fields
There are two sides to machine learning:
- Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
- Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
