How to copy files

Can I copy a file directly from a DVD inserted in the external Super Drive of my MacBook Air to an USB key connected to the other USB port ?

Yes, you can.
Both devices should mount and you can copy from the DVD to the USB in finder.

Hi you can use this function module to move a file from application server to another folder on application server.
call function 'WS_FILE_COPY'
           exporting
                destination = m_destination
                source      = m_source
           importing
                return      = return.
Plus u can use this function module to delete the file from that folder from which u want to replace it.
      call function 'WS_FILE_DELETE'
           exporting
                file   = m_source
           importing

The above FM can help u copy a file from one folder to another and delete the file from that folder.

Cannot be determined via the FTP server's return code. Which means parsing and checking the text response from the server to the command. And this vary from server to server.
But the basics were quite easy to code. The entire package is 500 lines, includes comments and blank lines for formatting, and supports the basic FTP client command set. Not really a complex piece of software to write - but I found that many developers seem to think that writing network socket software is complex. Not really the case...Mine's a big larger, but incorporates functionality similar to what Chris provided in his, such as being able to use SQL to query a remote file using pipelined functions, or functionality to write the results of a query directly to a remove file.

To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.

How to copy files from a color classic w/broken floppy drive to an i-book ?

How to copy files from a color classic w/broken floppy drive to an i-book ?
I have a Coplor Classic with a system 7.
There is no ethernet on color classic. The floppy drive is dead.
I need some important files I have on the color classic...
How do I connetct them to transfer files?...

The easiest way, as AppleIIFreak has suggested, is probably to find another older Macintosh computer (with the round MiniDIN printer port) to be used as an intermediary. You could then connect the two machines by means of LocalTalk cabling, or just a plain Mac serial printer cable between the printer ports, and then set up file sharing. From that other Mac, you should be able to forward the files via Ethernet, diskettes (if you have an external USB floppy drive for the iBook) or email (Internet).
If a second old Mac is not available, you may want to try something else. It would not be unusual for a Color Classic to have ClarisWorks already (obviously, one cannot expect anything new to become installed). If so, that program suite would contain a communications part. This means that you could connect an external serial modem, and send the files over the phone lines (or locally, modem-to-modem, in principle as in KB article # 22229; sometimes a very simple home-built line simulator may have to be added) to any other computer using a terminal emulation application with file transfer capabilities. It would also be possible to connect the modem port directly to the serial port of a PC, through a combination of a Mac modem cable (MiniDIN-8M to DB-25M) and a standard PC null-modem cable (DB-25F to DB-9F).

How to copy file from one location to another

Hi,
I am new to java, I tried the following code to move the file from one location to another
public class CopyFiles {
public String copy ( File source, File target)
throws IOException {
FileChannel sourceChannel = null;
FileChannel targetChannel =null;
try {
sourceChannel =new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
targetChannel= new FileOutputStream(target).getChannel();
targetChannel.transferFrom(sourceChannel, 0,
sourceChannel.size());
finally {
targetChannel.close();
sourceChannel.close();
return "Success";
public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception{
File source = new File("C:\\users\\download.pdf");
File destinationFile = new File("C:\\apple\\download.pdf");
copy(source, destinationFile);
The above code is working perfectly, but I Don't want to include the file name in destination file. i.e. File destinationFile=new File("C:\\apple"), and at the same time the pdf with same name has to get stored in the destination location, how can I achieve this.

Yes?
If that's the case, then break the original up into separate directory and file name portions, and then construct the destination path from the destination directory plus original file name. You can do that by manipulating the full path string, or by using the methods in java.io.File.

How to copy file from server to another machine in network through JSP

Hello!
any body can solve my problem.
i m working in JSP. i want to copy a file from server on which JSP engine is running to another computer in the same network.
i used Java File Object to copy file from one machine to another in network. and its working fine on network. but the problem is when i used the same code in web page there is exception which is Access is Denied. what i should do now.
i m writing the code i m using in my JSP page
String fileToCopy = "C:/oracle/Apache/Apache/htdocs/FAO/FAO_MiddleFrame.jsp";
String destinationDir = "\\\\af09\\c";
File source = new File(fileToCopy);
String fileName1 = source.getName();
if ((!destinationDir.endsWith("\\")) && (!destinationDir.endsWith("/"))) {
destinationDir = destinationDir + "\\";
File destination = new File(destinationDir + fileName1);
if (!destination.exists()) {
if (!destination.createNewFile()) {
//throw new IOException("Unable to create file. May be you don't have permissions.");
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(source);
FileOutputStream outStream = new FileOutputStream(destination);
int bytesRead = 0;
while ((bytesRead = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
outStream.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
out.println("File copied successfully ....");
plz reply me as soon as possible.
i will be very thankful
Saad

Thats the way it works. Cause servlet contaner doesnot allow other machines in the network to access other than machine which it came from as in case of applets. What you can do is if the other machine is also based on webserver or app server .. you can upload the file as it gets to that page do the process.
I would like to hear more on my comments..
Suggestions ??

How to copy files from another computer

Hi,
My daughter is logged into my server from her home. We ar trying to copy files using select all copy/ paste to my folder on the server.
We have copied about 82 images all jpegs. but thy all say 0 bytes.
What did we do wrong?
Thanks
Martin

Try to drag and drop the images to the server share.
While your description of your actions do not imply an error of execution, it might be worth trying an alternate method.
Also, what is your daughter's computer? Is it Windows? Since this is the OS X Server discussion thread, I will assume the server is a mini running Mountain Lion.

How to copy files and last modified date

Does anyone out there know who to copy files files from one directory to another and retain the date time stamp of the source files?
I've been able to write some code that copies files from one directory to another but I always end up with a Date Last Modified that is based on the current date. I want to retain the date time stamp from the original file that I copied. Is this possible in Java?
Mike

Call file.setLastModified() after you close it.

How to copy files from 10.7 iMac to 10.4 G5 thru network / sharing?

At work we have just bought 3 x New Intel Macs, 10.7. We are keeping an old G5 10.4 to use as a back up / archive. 2 of the Intels can connect and copy files backwards and forwards, however, when I try the same I get this message 'Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this'. I type in my password and it says it already exists... Then I can't cancel the copying and it copies the file sometimes 2000+ times, until I Force Quit.
I am trying to copy to my old G5 and I thought it might have a problem due to short user names as it was the same as my new Intel. I have changed the short username on old but still no joy.
I have gone thru the normal, tyrn sharing on etc on both macs, and have gone to 'get info' and change all access to 'Read and Write' but no joy.
As I said, the other 2 new Intels can copy no problem.
I'm sure it's just a button I have to click, but cannot find it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The key is that users != sites. I should have looked in /etc/apache2/sites and not /etc/apache2/users for the relevant file. (There is a user with the same name as the site.) Adding my 3 lines to the correct file works like a charm!

How to copy file from one table to another table at another database

I need to transfer my tables from one workspace and schema to another workspace and schema. Basically I need to create again all the tables at this new schema. How could I transfer data from tha table at old schema to the table at new schema when this table has files stored in it? (data type is blob)
thank you so much,
Silver

Hello Silver,
Depending which database you're using (if it's available) I would recommend to use datapump.
Datapump allows you to copy an entire schema to another database, it's the "new" export/import you might now.

Dimitri

How to copy files from one user to another on same macbook pro

I used the migration assistant to move files from an old windows pc to my new macbook pro. It created a second user and put everything there. I now can't figure out how to move them so they are under me.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The easiest way is to put your files in /Users/Shared. To access to this folder, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type that directory.
That folder can be read by all users, so you won't have any problem to copy your files to the other user account.
Another option would be to copy your files to an external drive. Also, see > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

How to Copy Files from Corrupt Time Machine Disk

Following a series of power outages, my TM disk became corrupted. When I tried to repair with disk utility, I got the message: Unable to repair, copy as many files as you can and then reformat the disk.
My question: Is there any way to capture all/part of my TM backups (they contain a history going back many months that I'd prefer not to lose)? Though I can dig in and get individual files, when trying for anything larger (like the series of backups), they are unable to copy with the files/folders being locked/read only.
Any help would be appreciated. I'll move to a 2 drive backup system after this!
Thanks

TM performs a backup in a rather unusual manner. An initial backup stores all the files in a disc image file. It then creates a special type of alias for each file. When you look through a TM backup you are looking at the aliases, not the files themselves.
If the drive's directory is the only thing corrupted and Disk Utility cannot repair it, then I suggest trying Disk Warrior that can repair many directory problems that Disk Utility cannot.
Otherwise, you will need to go through the backup with the TM application and attempt to restore the good files to another hard drive. Also,
See User Tips for Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

Mac partition corrupted, how to copy files over to external...

I have a circa 2008 black macbook running OSX 10.6.4 and running bootcamp 3.1 with windows 7 and somehow my mac partition is corrupted beyond repair (according to disk utility in snow leopard install disk). Ican still boot into windows 7 and I can still access my files from the mac partition while in windows so my questions are:
1. can I copy all my files to an external drive via windows (I tried just drag and drop but states I need certain permissions to do so). If so, how do I change permissions on the files or elevate my copying status so the alerts go away?
2. If i can copy my files to an external, what files, if any, should I not copy over as to prevent the corrupted files from coming back up?
3. If I wipe my mac partition and reinstall OSX, will there be any issues running boot camp? (will my windows 7 still boot)
3. if there are no issues with the first three questions (assuming they are answered in my favor) can I copy the files back to my newly installed OSX partition without any issues?
Basically I need to know how I can save my files from being deleted when I reinstall OSX (and no I do not have time machine set up)

Set up a Mac OS X volume on your external drive and boot from there.
Maybe you need Alsoft Disk Warrior (MacIntouch: Hard Drives lately)
Install OS X - shrink a partition so you have 20-30GB.
Erasing the HFS+ should be safe.
Use SuperDuper to clone OS X in the future, along with using TimeMachine (different drives or partitions) which are bootable OS X. Or Carbon Copy Cloner.
OS X DVD Disk Utility: Restore can copy a partition to external, and attempt repair of your OS X partition.
