BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (sorc_path));
BufferedReader otFile = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (desn_path));
int c;
while ( (c = inFile.read ()) != -1)
otFile.write ((char)c);
inFile.close ();
otFile.close ();
I get a error while compiling this code. In the line otFile.write (), char is to be pased. how to convert a int to a char value.
BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (sorc_path));
BufferedReader otFile = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (desn_path));
What is the problem with the above code if one of those streams is suppossed to be a writer? Don't you think you should possibly use BufferedWriter and FileWriter instead of BufferedReader and FileReader for the writer?
Edit: Also, if you are going to use the simple read() and write(char) methods, you would possibly be better off using a simple FileInputStream and FileOutputStream directly rather than than the Buffered and File Reader and Writer classes.

Note that those methods of BufferedReader/Writer use buffering as well.
Anyway, what about using java.nio.channels.FileChannel ?

Almost certainly, unless you are 100% sure that this code will only ever be applied to text files. You can't normally make that guarantee. Also raw copying via Input/OutputStreams will be much faster than all the implied character decoding/encoding of Readers and Writiers.
