Problem with the renameTO method in the Linux environment

Question

Hi
I got a problem with the renameTO method in the Linux environment. The file is not moving.
This method is returning false. the same code executed successfully in Windows environment.
Can anyone give some fix to this one or an alternate solution to move the files in both windows and Linux.
boolean success;
File root = new File(tempPath);
               File f = new File(root, phyFileName);
               File dest = new File(targetPath);
success = f.renameTo(new File(dest, actualFileName));actualFileName = 400.doc
dest = /home/jboss-4.0.3/axsscm_1.0/axsscmDocuments/xchange/fileup/fshare/PO/1786

Can u solve the below doubt.
Will renameTo method wont work in Linux? If so why?Did you not read what I said? I suspect you are trying to rename a file so that it actually has to be moved to a different volume (partition or hard disk) so it won't work. One would have the same problem on Windows trying to rename a file on the c: drive to a name on the d: drive.
