File.renameTo(File)

Thanks,

I'm running 1.5 version of java and I'm simply attempting to move a file from a
source directory to a target directory.

It seems the renameTo works fewer times than it does.

I print the absolute path to ensure they're correct and they are.

Someone mentioned there's a renameTo bug. Is there a workaround?

I'm thinking of exec'ing a process and running a dos move.

Thank again.
Sly

renameTo only works if the file itself does not need to be moved
between partitions.

If you need to actually copy the file, see
