Copying files from directory to other using FileUtils jar

Question

I want to copy files from directory to another, so I searched and I got this post: Copying files from one directory to another in Java

I follow the first answer, but I couldn't find the jar of FileUtils and the URL in the comments is broken.

Could you please help me to find the target jar?

Thank you in advance.

@David Wallace I searched on google and I got this link but I didn't find from where I can download the jar file. Sorry I don't use it before. — Programer14, May 25 '14 at 21:01
The page that I gave you the link for has two links on it that say "download now". — Dawood ibn Kareem, May 25 '14 at 21:19

You can either use the libary as mentioned but since Java7 there is a nice and quick way to do it with pure Java:

public static void copyDirectory(String input, String output) throws IOException {
    try (DirectoryStream<Path> stream = Files.newDirectoryStream(Paths.get(input))) {
        for (Path entry: stream) {
            if (Files.isRegularFile(entry)) {
                Files.copy(entry, Paths.get(output).resolve(entry.getFileName()));
            }
        }
    }
}

Great!! Thank you, but it moves the files not copy them?? – Programer14 May 25 '14 at 21:09
@Eng.Lolina No, it only copies them. To move files you would have to use `Files.move()` – user432 May 25 '14 at 21:10
Yesssss, you are right. It was y mistake. Thanks very much. – Programer14 May 25 '14 at 21:15

You're looking for commons-io, FileUtils is a class from apache's commons-io.jar
