Move File

[Eibhlin Reid]

Does anyone know if there is a method in Java where by I could copy a file on my PC from one location to another, or even better move the file to another location?

[Paul Sturrock]

java.io is the package you want.

I've tried several things from this package, I can't seem to find the right class?? Any suggestions?

[Paul Sturrock]

You might want to try the File class. In particular its:

public boolean renameTo(File dest)

method (paying attention to the caveat mentioned in the JavaDocs)
