Method that should be in the Teacher Notes

Evan talks about the copyFile() method that should be in the Teacher Notes however, it seems as though it isn't!

Here's the method for easy copying/pasting for any students that want to use it:

    private static void copyFile(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int read;
        while((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
            out.write(buffer, 0, read);
        }
    }

Hope it helps! :)

Thank you, Harry. I think that was pretty sloppy of Evan to not make sure that it was there. Especially since it's been at least five months, probably more, since.

Thank you for posting this. Not only is it not posted in the teacher notes, the video also runs off the screen and you can't see the { you need... but you can't get to the treehouse community forum on the app on the phone, so I wound up finding the code on Stack Overflow.

2 years later and the notes still haven't been fixed.

While it is resolved, Treehouse needs to fix it as having every single person who pass through here spend even 15 secs to find it is wasting a huge amount of cumulative human hours.

Susan Jensen , looking the code up to find out what it you need is a learning experience itself, congratulations. You will find yourself doing that plenty of times during the process of coding apps.

Thanks, Harry James.

Why hasn't this method been added to the teacher's notes, Treehouse?
