moving files?

Hi!I have an application (service) moving files from one location to another and I am wondering which system resources are being used, is it just the network and the storage? Is the CPU envolved at all? Does it depend on the protocoll, OS, implementation,

How are you moving things, from where to where?

could you elaborate? Is i CPU-intensive? I guess the applcation has to actually read the whole file and then write it over. Are there any good java applications out there that can do the job, possibly with web services interface or similar?
