    Angry Copy a file in java

    Hey, I'm trying to copy a exe file from one location to another. It seems simple, but I have failed to find anything about it besides coping the contents in txt files, but that does nothing for executable.

    Well, I don't even know where to start, all the examples I've seen gone like this

    private static void copyFileUsingFileStreams(File source, File dest)
    		throws IOException {
    	InputStream input = null;
    	OutputStream output = null;
    	try {
    		input = new FileInputStream(source);
    		output = new FileOutputStream(dest);
    		byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    		int bytesRead;
    		while ((bytesRead = input.read(buf)) > 0) {
    			output.write(buf, 0, bytesRead);
    		}
    	} finally {
    		input.close();
    		output.close();
    	}
    }


    --- Update ---

    Well, Now I feel stupid, it was just a typo on my end
