Java Language Tutorial => Copying a file using Channel

Example

We can use Channel to copy file content faster. To do so, we can use transferTo() method of FileChannel .

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.channels.FileChannel;

public class FileCopier {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        File sourceFile = new File("hello.txt");
        File sinkFile = new File("hello2.txt");
        copy(sourceFile, sinkFile);
    }

    public static void copy(File sourceFile, File destFile) {
        if (!sourceFile.exists() || !destFile.exists()) {
            System.out.println("Source or destination file doesn't exist");
            return;
        }


        try (FileChannel srcChannel = new FileInputStream(sourceFile).getChannel();
             FileChannel sinkChanel = new FileOutputStream(destFile).getChannel()) {

            srcChannel.transferTo(0, srcChannel.size(), sinkChanel);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
