Class FileCopyUtils

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.util.FileCopyUtils

public abstract class FileCopyUtils
extends Object

Simple utility methods for file and stream copying. All copy methods use a block size of 4096 bytes, and close all affected streams when done. A variation of the copy methods from this class that leave streams open can be found in StreamUtils.

Mainly for use within the framework, but also useful for application code.
