Copy files and paste to a different directory
In java how can I copy an entire file regardless of the file type and paste it to a new location?
My goal here is a file is exported to a location on the server machine and I want to use java to copy that file and paste in on a client machine.
Is this possible through java?

The server is on the same network
>> and copy in the usual way
does the line File dest = new File("\\\\server_name\\sha
and if so do i just create an outputstream to the location i want on the client machine?

Works great :) thanks CEHJ

I don't think it is very easy as CEHJ posting.
1.The source and the destination machine are same network which is not enough to locate file by:
\\\\server_name\\sharename
It is depend on what platform they are running on and the policy of the destination machine.
2. I think you should install an FTP server on client machine. You visit here to download
Quick ’n Easy FTP Server 3.0 (freeware)
http://www.pablosoftwaresolutions.com/html/quick__n_easy_ftp_server.html
It needn't install, just execute the exe file. It is very easy.
3. Now you use http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/ Jakarta Common Net to develop your Java program which is charge of FTP client role.
If your server and client are using Microsoft Windows.
You should map the destination folder into network drive.
My Computer >Tool > Map Network Drive >chose a drive letter (take example:Z)> Browse to locate the folder on the client machine.
Now you write a Java program to copy a folder from place to Z:.
It just a program copy folder in local machine.
