这是另一个基于Brian Risk的答案的Java 7变体，使用了try-with语句:

public static void downloadFileFromURL(String urlString, File destination) throws Throwable {

    URL website = new URL(urlString);
    try(
        ReadableByteChannel rbc = Channels.newChannel(website.openStream());
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(destination);
       ) {

        fos.getChannel().transferFrom(rbc, 0, Long.MAX_VALUE);
    }
}

这里有许多优雅而有效的答案。但是简洁会让我们失去一些有用的信息。特别是，人们通常不希望将连接错误视为异常，并且可能希望以不同的方式处理某些与网络相关的错误—例如，决定是否应该重试下载。

下面是一个方法，它不会为网络错误抛出异常(仅用于真正异常的问题，如url格式错误或写入文件的问题)

/**
 * Downloads from a (http/https) URL and saves to a file. 
 * Does not consider a connection error an Exception. Instead it returns:
 *  
 *    0=ok  
 *    1=connection interrupted, timeout (but something was read)
 *    2=not found (FileNotFoundException) (404) 
 *    3=server error (500...) 
 *    4=could not connect: connection timeout (no internet?) java.net.SocketTimeoutException
 *    5=could not connect: (server down?) java.net.ConnectException
 *    6=could not resolve host (bad host, or no internet - no dns)
 * 
 * @param file File to write. Parent directory will be created if necessary
 * @param url  http/https url to connect
 * @param secsConnectTimeout Seconds to wait for connection establishment
 * @param secsReadTimeout Read timeout in seconds - trasmission will abort if it freezes more than this 
 * @return See above
 * @throws IOException Only if URL is malformed or if could not create the file
 */
public static int saveUrl(final Path file, final URL url, 
  int secsConnectTimeout, int secsReadTimeout) throws IOException {
    Files.createDirectories(file.getParent()); // make sure parent dir exists , this can throw exception
    URLConnection conn = url.openConnection(); // can throw exception if bad url
    if( secsConnectTimeout > 0 ) conn.setConnectTimeout(secsConnectTimeout * 1000);
    if( secsReadTimeout > 0 ) conn.setReadTimeout(secsReadTimeout * 1000);
    int ret = 0;
    boolean somethingRead = false;
    try (InputStream is = conn.getInputStream()) {
        try (BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(is); OutputStream fout = Files
                .newOutputStream(file)) {
            final byte data[] = new byte[8192];
            int count;
            while((count = in.read(data)) > 0) {
                somethingRead = true;
                fout.write(data, 0, count);
            }
        }
    } catch(java.io.IOException e) { 
        int httpcode = 999;
        try {
            httpcode = ((HttpURLConnection) conn).getResponseCode();
        } catch(Exception ee) {}
        if( somethingRead && e instanceof java.net.SocketTimeoutException ) ret = 1;
        else if( e instanceof FileNotFoundException && httpcode >= 400 && httpcode < 500 ) ret = 2; 
        else if( httpcode >= 400 && httpcode < 600 ) ret = 3; 
        else if( e instanceof java.net.SocketTimeoutException ) ret = 4; 
        else if( e instanceof java.net.ConnectException ) ret = 5; 
        else if( e instanceof java.net.UnknownHostException ) ret = 6;  
        else throw e;
    }
    return ret;
}

下面是一个简洁的、可读的、仅使用jdk的解决方案，其中包含适当的封闭资源:

static long download(String url, String fileName) throws IOException {
    try (InputStream in = URI.create(url).toURL().openStream()) {
        return Files.copy(in, Paths.get(fileName));
    }
}

两行代码，没有依赖关系。

下面是一个完整的文件下载示例程序，包含输出、错误检查和命令行参数检查:

package so.downloader;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.URI;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        if (2 != args.length) {
            System.out.println("USAGE: java -jar so-downloader.jar <source-URL> <target-filename>");
            System.exit(1);
        }

        String sourceUrl = args[0];
        String targetFilename = args[1];

        long bytesDownloaded = download(sourceUrl, targetFilename);

        System.out.println(String.format("Downloaded %d bytes from %s to %s.", bytesDownloaded, sourceUrl, targetFilename));
    }

    static long download(String url, String fileName) throws IOException {
        try (InputStream in = URI.create(url).toURL().openStream()) {
            return Files.copy(in, Paths.get(fileName));
        }
    }    
}

正如so-downloader存储库README中所指出的:

运行文件下载程序:

java -jar so-downloader.jar <source-URL> <target-filename>

例如:

java -jar so-downloader.jar https://github.com/JanStureNielsen/so-downloader/archive/main.zip so-downloader-source.zip

下载一个文件需要你阅读它。无论哪种方式，您都必须以某种方式查看该文件。而不是逐行，你可以从流中逐字节读取:

BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(new URL("http://www.website.com/information.asp").openStream())
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
int count;
while((count = in.read(data, 0, 1024)) != -1)
{
    out.write(data, 0, count);
}

当使用Java 7+时，使用以下方法从Internet下载文件并将其保存到某个目录:

private static Path download(String sourceURL, String targetDirectory) throws IOException
{
    URL url = new URL(sourceURL);
    String fileName = sourceURL.substring(sourceURL.lastIndexOf('/') + 1, sourceURL.length());
    Path targetPath = new File(targetDirectory + File.separator + fileName).toPath();
    Files.copy(url.openStream(), targetPath, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);

    return targetPath;
}

文档在这里。

如果你使用代理，你可以在Java程序中设置代理，如下所示:

Properties systemSettings = System.getProperties();
systemSettings.put("proxySet", "true");
systemSettings.put("https.proxyHost", "HTTPS proxy of your org");
systemSettings.put("https.proxyPort", "8080");

如果您没有使用代理，请不要在代码中包含上述代码行。完整的工作代码下载文件时，你是一个代理。

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    String url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bpjoshi/fxservice/master/src/test/java/com/bpjoshi/fxservice/api/TradeControllerTest.java";
    OutputStream outStream = null;
    URLConnection connection = null;
    InputStream is = null;
    File targetFile = null;
    URL server = null;

    // Setting up proxies
    Properties systemSettings = System.getProperties();
        systemSettings.put("proxySet", "true");
        systemSettings.put("https.proxyHost", "HTTPS proxy of my organisation");
        systemSettings.put("https.proxyPort", "8080");
        // The same way we could also set proxy for HTTP
        System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "true");
        // Code to fetch file
    try {
        server = new URL(url);
        connection = server.openConnection();
        is = connection.getInputStream();
        byte[] buffer = new byte[is.available()];
        is.read(buffer);

        targetFile = new File("src/main/resources/targetFile.java");
        outStream = new FileOutputStream(targetFile);
        outStream.write(buffer);
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        System.out.println("THE URL IS NOT CORRECT ");
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        System.out.println("I/O exception");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally{
        if(outStream != null)
            outStream.close();
    }
}
