All of the ways i've found:
| Method | Detail |
|---|---|
| Native Copy | Make the copy using the cp executable of Linux |
| Naive Streams Copy | Open two streams, one to read, one to write and transfer the content byte by byte. |
| Naive Readers Copy | Open two readers, one to read, one to write and transfer the content character by character. |
| Buffered Streams Copy | Same as the first but using buffered streams instead of simple streams. |
| Buffered Readers Copy | Same as the second but using buffered readers instead of simple readers. |
| Custom Buffer Stream Copy | Same as the first but reading the file not byte by byte but using a simple byte array as buffer. |
| Custom Buffer Reader Copy | Same as the fifth but using a Reader instead of a stream. |
| Custom Buffer Buffered Stream Copy | Same as the fifth but using buffered streams. |
| Custom Buffer Buffered Reader Copy | Same as the sixth but using buffered readers. |
| NIO Buffer Copy | Using NIO Channel and using a ByteBuffer to make the transfer. |
| NIO Transfer Copy | Using NIO Channel and direct transfer from one channel to other. |
| Path (Java 7) Copy | Using the Path class of Java 7 and its method copyTo() |
