How To Copy Files From One Directory to Another in Java: Example

Hello folks. I have been programming in Java for a long time, and you won't believe it, but there was no file copy method in the Java API until Java 7. Our options were either to: write it ourselves using a FileInputStream, a FileOutputStream, and a buffer to copy bytes from one to the other; or, better yet, use the FileChannel.transferTo() method or the Apache Commons FileUtils, which was a lifesaver in those days and still is today. 

JDK has evolved now, and you have a decent API to copy files from one directory to another. In this article, I'll show you both the pre-Java code for copying files from one directory to another as well post Java 7 code, which makes this task a lot easier.
