Dim sstream As New StreamReader("c:\EULA.txt")

Dim sstream2 As New StreamWriter("e:\EULA.txt", FileMode.Create)

Do Until sstream.Peek = -1

sstream2.WriteLine(sstream.ReadLine)

Loop

sstream.Close()

if these are textfile, try this:

Dim theReader as new StreamReader("file.txt")
Dim theWriter as new StreamWriter("copyfile.txt")
theWriter.Write(theReader.ReadToEnd())
theWriter.Close()
theReader.Close()

or if you want to copy a file, just use:

System.IO.File.Copy(source, dest);

ok i tried but the file is different bytes again

the source file is 38060 bytes

the destination 38788 bytes , how could the destination file had a different bytes copied?

no idea, working well here :)

if you want to copy a file, just do:

System.IO.File.Copy(Source, Destination);

thank you very much it works, im just really curious why when u used streamreader[writer] class to copy files the bytes were different?

no reason either :-P I guess everyone has their way of doing things. I was just going through your example and using that
