    Default how to Download/Copy files from a remote (virtual) location to your local system

    hi,
    I have a virtual location with some files. I want to copy those files to my local system using java..Let me know how this can be acheived.

    the remote/virtual loc is something like dis: \\hc-sk378h\Prajwal\Deploy

    there are some files in the Deploy folder, I want to copy them into my local machine.

    I tried using url object, since this is not thru internet, the remote is a virtual location,

    Any help appreciated.

    What is a "virtual location"? How can a java program access it? What connection possibilities does the OS provide?

    Take a look at the API doc for the File class.
