Download file from Internet in Java :-

In this tutorial, we will learn to download file from Internet in java using apache’s commons-io library. Let’s see an implementation using commons-io library with the help of an example :-

Apache Commons-IO :- 

In case of commons-io library, we will call copyURLToFile() method of FileUtils class by passing URL and File Object as a parameter. If you don’t have this library in your local setup, then you can download it by using maven or gradle configuration.

Maven :-

<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-io</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
    <version>2.5</version>
</dependency>

Gradle :- 

dependencies {
    compile 'commons-io:commons-io:2.5'
}

Example :- 

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;

public class DownloadFileFromURL {

  public static void main(String[] args){

    String url = "https://codedestine.com/text.html";
    String file = "D://file.txt";

    try {
       //connectionTimeout, readTimeout = 10 seconds
       FileUtils.copyURLToFile(new URL(url), new File(file), 10000, 10000);

    }catch (IOException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
    }

  }
}
