Reading binary file from URLConnection

Now I have a URL:

(http://elsa.berkeley.edu/~saez/TabFig2005prel.xls for example, with http: scheme).

I need to access to this file and store it as a File object in my program so I can do my following work. So anyone knows how to make this to a File object? I have no idea how to covert a InputStream to a File.

Thank you
Allan

Answer 1

How about using apache commons-io (http://commons.apache.org/io/)

It has a

FileUtils.copyURLToFile(URL,File);
