How to copy files in Groovy

Question

I need to copy a file in Groovy and saw some ways to achieve it on the web:

1

new AntBuilder().copy( file:\"$sourceFile.canonicalPath\", 
                  


        

Answer 1

This is the way using platform independent groovy script. If anyone has questions please ask in the comments.

def file = new File("java/jcifs-1.3.18.jar")
this.class.classLoader.rootLoader.addURL(file.toURI().toURL())

def auth_server = Class.forName("jcifs.smb.NtlmPasswordAuthentication").newInstance("domain", "username", "password")
def auth_local = Class.forName("jcifs.smb.NtlmPasswordAuthentication").newInstance(null, "local_username", "local_password")

def source_url = args[0]
def dest_url = args[1]
def auth = auth_server

//prepare source file
if(!source_url.startsWith("\\\\"))
{
  source_url = "\\\\localhost\\"+ source_url.substring(0, 1) + "\$" + source_url.substring(1, source_url.length());
  auth = auth_local  
}
source_url = "smb:"+source_url.replace("\\","/");
println("Copying from Source -> " + source_url);
println("Connecting to Source..");

def source = Class.forName("jcifs.smb.SmbFile").newInstance(source_url,auth)
println(source.canRead());


// Reset the authentication to default
auth = auth_server

//prepare destination file
if(!dest_url.startsWith("\\\\"))
{
  dest_url = "\\\\localhost\\"+ dest_url.substring(0, 1) + "\$" +dest_url.substring(2, dest_url.length());
  auth = auth_local  
}

def dest = null
dest_url = "smb:"+dest_url.replace("\\","/");
println("Copying To Destination-> " + dest_url);
println("Connecting to Destination..");

dest = Class.forName("jcifs.smb.SmbFile").newInstance(dest_url,auth)
println(dest.canWrite());

if (dest.exists()){
  println("Destination folder already exists");
}
source.copyTo(dest);
