在java.net.http.HttpClient上使用授权的解决方案:

HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
        .GET()
        .header("Accept", "application/json")
        // .header("Authorization", "Basic ci5raG9kemhhZXY6NDdiYdfjlmNUM=") if you need
        .uri(URI.create("https://jira.google.ru/secure/attachment/234096/screenshot-1.png"))
        .build();

HttpResponse<InputStream> response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofInputStream());

try (InputStream in = response.body()) {
    Files.copy(in, Paths.get(target + "screenshot-1.png"), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
}

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);
}

就我个人而言，我发现Apache的HttpClient在这方面比我需要做的任何事情都有能力。这里有一个关于使用HttpClient的很棒的教程

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);
    }
}

在underscore-java库中有一个方法U.fetch(url)。

文件pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.javadev</groupId>
  <artifactId>underscore</artifactId>
  <version>1.84</version>
</dependency>

代码示例:

import com.github.underscore.U;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class Download {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Files.write(Paths.get("data.bin"),
            U.fetch("https://stackoverflow.com/questions"
                + "/921262/how-to-download-and-save-a-file-from-internet-using-java").blob());
    }
}

这个答案几乎和选中的答案完全一样，但是有两个增强:它是一个方法，它关闭了FileOutputStream对象:

    public static void downloadFileFromURL(String urlString, File destination) {
        try {
            URL website = new URL(urlString);
            ReadableByteChannel rbc;
            rbc = Channels.newChannel(website.openStream());
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(destination);
            fos.getChannel().transferFrom(rbc, 0, Long.MAX_VALUE);
            fos.close();
            rbc.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
