How can I move files to another folder with java?

Question

I want to move files (images) from a folder to another:

For example:

/home/folder1/image.png

to

/home/folder1/folder2/image.png

And obviously remove the image from the folder1

I've trying to do it by reading the path and then modifying it, or using renameTo, but i can't do it.

I hope someone can help me a little with this, Thanks.

EDIT:

Well I can put the code but it's simple to explain what i did:

I just created a Folder class that has a File object of my folder (/home/folder1) , i read all the images inside and save it in an File array, then i scan it and try to change the path of every image file String to another

EDIT:

Thanks to all for the help, all are good examples, I was able to change my files to another location, there was a bunch of files I wanted to move so, I didn't want to create too many objects.

Answer 1

You said you tried renameTo and it didn't work, but this worked for me. After I renamed it I deleted the original file.

File a = new File("C:\\folderA\\A.txt");
a.renameTo(new File("C:\\folderB\\" + a.getName()));
a.delete();

Commons-io has a few methods in the FileUtils class that can help you.

Example: FileUtils.moveFile(src, dest);
