Copy File, Delete File & Opening Document

Question

Hi All
Please help, note that I use JDK 1.1.7A. I have 2 directories I recieve a file into the first. This kicks of a process, when the process is finished I must take the file and copy it to the 2nd directory. Once it is copied I have to delete it from the 1st directory.. I then check through my explore from windows to see if I can open the document after it had been copied. I get an error from Winword that kinda says the following:
Document Name or path is not valid. Try these sugestions. Check file permissions. Use OPen Dialog box[]
private boolean copyFiles(String sFrom, String sTo, String sCopyList)
File fFrom = new File(sFrom);
File fTo = new File(sTo);
String sParent = "";
if (sCopyList.equals("PCIError"))
  sParent = fFrom.getParent();
  fTo = null;
  fTo = new File(sParent, sCopyList);
int iNoToCopy = 0;
File fTempRead = new File(fFrom.getAbsolutePath(), sCopyList);
File fTempWrite = new File(fTo.getAbsolutePath(), sCopyList);
if (fFrom.canRead())
  try
   RandomAccessFile randomWrite = new RandomAccessFile(fTempWrite, "rw");
   RandomAccessFile randomRead = new RandomAccessFile(fTempRead, "rw");
   long fLength = 0l;
   if (fTempWrite.exists())
    fLength = fTempWrite.length();
    randomWrite.seek(fLength);
   //FileReader fRead = null;
   //String sRead = fFrom.getPath() + File.separator + sCopyList;
   //fRead = new FileReader(sRead);
   //BufferedReader bufRead = new BufferedReader(fRead);
   String s = null;
   while ((s = randomRead.readLine()) != null)
    randomWrite.writeBytes(s);
   //bufRead.close();
   randomRead.close();
   randomWrite.close();
   fTempRead.delete();
   File fDelete = new File(fFrom, sCopyList);
   fDelete.delete();
  catch (IOException ioE)
   ioE.printStackTrace();
   return false;
return true;

Hi All
I though that I had this problem resolved Alas I don't. If I have 2 existing directories than it works fine. When I have to create a new directory then I run into some problems. File creates a file. You then use the mkdir() method to make that file into a directory. It does not work the system creates the file but then doesn't turn it into a directory when that method is called.
Here is the code:
private boolean copyFiles(String sFrom, String sTo, String sCopyList)
     File fFrom = new File(sFrom);
     File fTo = null;
     String sParent = "";
     boolean bDir = false;
     if (sTo.endsWith("PCIError"))
          sParent = fFrom.getParent();
          fTo = new File(sParent);
          bDir = fTo.mkdir();
     int iNoToCopy = 0;
     File fTempRead = new File(fFrom.getAbsolutePath(), sCopyList);
     File fTempWrite = new File(sTo, sCopyList);
     if (fTempRead.canRead())
          try
                        //This is where the IOException is thrown
               RandomAccessFile randomWrite = new RandomAccessFile(fTempWrite, "rw");
               RandomAccessFile randomRead = new RandomAccessFile(fTempRead, "rw");
               long fLength = 0l;
               if (fTempWrite.exists())
                    fLength = fTempWrite.length();
                    randomWrite.seek(fLength);
               byte by[] = new byte[500];
               int byteread = 0;
               randomWrite.seek(0);
               while ((byteread = randomRead.read(by)) != -1)
                    randomWrite.write(by, 0, byteread);
               randomRead.close();
               randomWrite.close();
               fTempRead.delete();
               File fDelete = new File(fFrom, sCopyList);
               fDelete.delete();
          catch (IOException ioE)
               ioE.printStackTrace();
                        //what is printed out to my console:
                        /*java.io.IOException
                       java.lang.Throwable()
                          java.lang.Exception()
                       java.io.IOException()
                       void java.io.RandomAccessFile.open(java.lang.String, boolean)
                       java.io.RandomAccessFile(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
                       java.io.RandomAccessFile(java.io.File, java.lang.String)
                       boolean pci.Pci.copyFiles(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
                       void pci.Pci.run()*/
               return false;
     return true;
RESULTS
I want to create in a directory PCIError as File folder in directory:
E:/Applications/.
Thus it must look like this:
E:/Applications/PCIError.
I want PCIError to be a File folder. But instead I get the following: E:/Applications/PCIError and PCIError is not a File folder but just a simple file that is not a directory at all so I can't copy any files into directory:
E:/Applications/PCIError
Because it isn't a directory but a file.
I would appreciate any help possible. Please also remember the version in which I have to write this program it is not an option to change the JDK Version.
Regards & thanx
