I am trying to read the files inside a folder, but when I run the program it throws this exception. I tried with some other folders also. It throws the same exception.
Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\backup (Access is denied) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
java.io.FileNotFoundException. Signals that an attempt to open the file denoted by a specified pathname has failed. This exception will be thrown by the FileInputStream , FileOutputStream , and RandomAccessFile constructors when a file with the specified pathname does not exist.
You cannot open and read a directory, use the isFile()
and isDirectory()
methods to distinguish between files and folders. You can get the contents of folders using the list()
and listFiles()
methods (for filenames and File
s respectively) you can also specify a filter that selects a subset of files listed.
