Sean Poulter commented on IO-544:
---------------------------------

We have a scheduled task that runs every 4 hours. It logs locally in a tempfile.
When the work is done we copy the tempfile to the network drive using 
{{FileUtils.copyFile(local, remote, true);}}.

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide to help.

> Should FileUtils.copyFile be flushed and synced before comparing file sizes?

> I've been struggling to troubleshoot intermittent {{IOExceptions}} thrown 
> from {{FileUtils.doCopyFile}} when copying 2-4KB files from a local temporary 
> file to a network drive. Despite the error, the file appears on the network 
> drive when I check. Should the output channel/buffer be forced/flushed before 
> closing, and synchronized before comparing the file lengths? It's a rather 
> intermittent issue on a relatively high throughput PC so I'd expect there to 
> be more IO latency than normal.
