How to get URL content and save into file in Java

In this program, we show you how to get content of a page from URL “www.davidmagar.com.np” and save it into local file drive, named “dvd.dat”. we can save it into file with other extensions like .txt .html etc.

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class urldemo {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        try {
			// get URL content
			URL url = new URL("http://www.davidmagar.com.np");
			URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
			// open the stream and put it into BufferedReader
			BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
                               new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
			String inputLine;
                        // file creating
			BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("dvd.dat"));

			while ((inputLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
				bw.write(inputLine);
			}
			bw.close();
			br.close();
			System.out.println("Done");
		} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
    }
    }

if you want to save files in other local drives or paths then

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class urldemo {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        try {
			// get URL content
			URL url = new URL("http://www.davidmagar.com.np");
			URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
			// open the stream and put it into BufferedReader
			BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
                               new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
			String inputLine;
                        
                        //save to this filename
			String fileName = "/home/debid/Documents/dvd.html";
			File file = new File(fileName);

			if (!file.exists()) {
				file.createNewFile();
			}

			//use FileWriter to write file
			FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file.getAbsoluteFile());
			BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);

			while ((inputLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
				bw.write(inputLine);
			}
			bw.close();
			br.close();
			System.out.println("Done");
		} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
    }
    }
