Copy file in different folder

Hello,
I am trying to save a file in a different folder but I am currently having problems.
I use new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
I tried to instantiate the File file with a URI but it is a known bug when I m giving it a full path, it has a problem with ":" in C:\\
Also if I give it a string for the pathname it creates it in the same folder as my classes and also if I use only C:\\ there too.
Any ideas?

You mean:
public File(String parent, String child)
Creates a new File instance from a parent pathname string and a child pathname string.
To be honest I had seen this one but in the method I m writing the file I wasn't keeping the path of the directory separate and thus the confusion. :)

Archiving file in different folder in sender file adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement in witch i have to pick 7 different file from seven different folder.
for this I am using advance selection tab and defining all the other folder path.
but my problem is I have to archive the different file in different folder .
For exm..
/folder1/file1.txt need to be archive in /archive_filder1/file1.txt
/folder2/file2.txt need to be archive in /archive_filder2/file2.txt
/folder3/file3.txt need to be archive in /archive_filder3/file3.txt
can any one tell me that how to define the dynamic archive folder path??.
regards,
Navneet

Hi Navneet
In File Access parameters --> Target Directory
Use this type of Directory name
\XIDEV_STORES\%store%\sapoutbound
here %store% will be changed accordingly
e.g. if file will come for store 001 then this %Store% will be replaced by 001 and file will be placed in this 001 folder and if file will come for store 002 then this %Store% will be replaced by 002 and file will be placed in this 002 folder over FTP.
For to achieve this Go to Advanced tab
For Variable Substitution check mark Enable
Now speciofy the parameter values for Variable Name and Reference
Under Vriable name specify = store
Under Reference specify = payload:WP_PLU02,1,IDOC,1,EDI_DC40,1,RCVPRN,1 -
You have to give full path name here that where this store variable is located into IDOC.
Hope this example will help you

Windows 2008 : How to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder

Hello All,
I need to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder. Please let me know is there any method to achieve this requirement.

If user have Read permission, they can copy it. So actually you cannot restrict user from copy your files if they could read/edit.
Some programs could help restrict users from edit/modify/copy the content of their files such as Office files, PDF files etc as Oscar said above.

Request - AI files copy & Curved in different folder

Dear Participants...
Is it possible with javascript code to do the following?
Have AI files from different paths. I need a copy all files with text curves. Should work for batch.

Newbie - Why is iPhoto copying files to Pictures folder when I said not to?

I'm a total newbie to iPhoto. I literally just installed it for the first time ever about an hour ago, but I am well-versed in the ways of iTunes for example and its preferences the way it works with MP3s on an external drive, and how you can set a folder on an external drive to be the default music location, etc.
I would have thought that iPhoto would have worked in a similar manner with photos.
Here's the scenario: I keep all my photos (literally 1000's of them, and quite hi-res.) on a massive external drive, as my main computer's hard drive is (a) quite small, and (b) quite full as it is with other stuff.
The problem I am having with iPhoto is that before I placed a single photo into its Library, I specifically set my Preferences, under the Advanced tab, to NOT copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to Library.
But then when I placed a whole load of photos from my external drive into iPhoto, I noticed my available free space on my main computer's hard drive had decreased somewhat. So I had a look in Users > Brett > Pictures > iPhoto Library, and sure enough, duplicates of all the pictures I added to iPhoto from my external drive had been copied there too! Why?!?!
And even more frustrating is that there appears to be TWO copies of each photo on my main hard drive: half in named sub-folders in a "Data" folder set to 360x270 (pretty massive if that's supposed to be a thumbnail!!) and then the other half, at FULL-resolution, in named sub-folders in a folder called "Modified" (not that I've modified any of them, but anyway).
And with another copy on my external drive, I now have THREE copies of each photo! That's just ludicrous!!!
I don't want iPhoto to keep "extra" copies of my photos. I just want ONE copy of each photo, and I want these photos to be stored on my external drive ONLY.
How do I set it up to do this? Or can I not do this? Have I got the wrong idea of what iPhoto can and can't do?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Brett:
If you look in the Originals folder and its subfolders you should see all alias files (very small in size) pointing to the source files on the external HD. In the Modified folder will be full sized files of any image file that was taken in the portrait orientation with a camera that has the auto-rotate capability. You can't get around it unless you rotate them before importing with a 3rd party application. Then in the Data folder are the thumbnail files. Those thumbnail files are for viewing up to a fairly good size before the original file kicks in when you use the slider bar in the thumbnail window. If you take your HD off line and then move that slider upward you can see how big you can get the thumbnail before it balks and gives you the "missing file" window of gray with a dotted rectangle.
Having the edited version lets you revert back to the original for other editing that might require a different crop (for printing a different sized photo for instance.) If you want just one copy of each photo you'll need to go to an application like iView MediaPro.
It may seem like a lot but when you think of what that library represents in full sized files on the external HD, you're really well off. My alias library of 27,000 files (29G in size) is only 1.6G on my boot drive. Even the professional applications like Aperture creates a second file when you edit and the thumbnail is either a separate file or embedded in the Aperature system for quick viewing without having to render the entire file.

How to generate & publish webhelp html files in different folder than default folder

Hi All,
I am new to robo help. I have a requirement to generate & publish webhelp html files in a different folder than default folder.
Could anyone please tell me the steps to change the folder
Thanks
Rashmi

You change the generate folder and filename in the first field on the first page of the wizard. It must be a folder on your hard disk.
You change the publish folder in the last page of the wizard. Anywhere you like.

ITunes copies files without the "copy files to Media folder" checked.

I've never been a fan of iTunes. My dislike of its impositive ways is directly proportional to its version (10.1.1(4) currently), so I never allow it to do anything automatically for me. I really like it that way.
In recent years, after a couple of experiences filled with much tribulation, I have never checked either "Keep iTunes folder media organised" nor "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library" under its Preferences, whenever I have been forced to use this accursed application.
But owning an iPod (a couple actually) makes it impossible to live a jovial iTunes-free lifestyle. So yes, I use it on occasion.
Those occasions almost exclusively mean copying music and audio books to and from it. No videos, no Pictures, no nothing else.
I'm using a 4th Generation iPod Touch.
My iTunes library is not on my computer but on an external HD.
Anything I drag and drop to the library comes from folders in that external HD.
Now, the few audio books I own are not even inside my iTunes media folder. They are elsewhere in a folder of their own. But everything had worked O.K.ish so far.
Today, while re-tagging some audio books I asked iTunes to show the file in Finder. And it did. It was indeed inside that external HD... BUT... on the iTunes media folder, not on the folder where I keep those audio books originally.
I checked the iTunes "Preferences" to see if the Gremlins had changed anything. It was as it has always been (with all pertinent options unchecked).
I checked the original folder to see if they had been moved. Nope, they were still there too.
The versions are not the same, since all that re-tagging I'd been doing had of course affected the ones in the "wrong" folder (the one I did not assigned nor agreed to create).
The music is fine (some of which comes from a folder similarly outside the iTunes media folder, although most comes from within), it's just the audio books.
An event of note is that a few days ago, that external HD had a problem and the data had to be moved elsewhere, the HD re-formatted, and the info placed back into it once more. But the paths remain identical since the HD has the same name and the folders are where they once were. I've no idea if this has any effect on anything at all, but I thought to mention it.
So this mystery is such. Any takers?
The questions are: Why does this happen? How can I stop it from happening again (aside from not using iTunes :-D).
It is not that big a problem since I have very few audio books thus the duplicate is not too large, but I'd like to know how to avoid it, if possible.
Thanks in advance for any information on this.

iTunes prefs -> Advanced. Uncheck *Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library*.
Any reason you don't want them in the music folder? You could add them to iTunes and delete the from your documents folder.

Does itunes automatically copy files to its folder?

If I download music from a website to my desktop, and then doubleclick the icon on my desktop, it starts playing in itunes. But it also looks like it saves a copy of the file in the itunes music folder. Can i just safely delete the files off my desktop now (and still play the music in future) because they have been automically copied into the itunes folder?
Also, is there a way to turn this feature off, so that I can still play the music by clicking on the icons on the desktop, but itunes doesn't automatically copy the files into its folder?

Hi Jeff,
iTunes does put a copy of the song in your Music Folder, and yes, you can delete the file off your Desktop as soon as it opens in iTunes, I'll take a minute now to see if you can turn off the automatic copying feature.
Edit:
You can turn off the auto-copy setting by going to iTunes-Preferences-Advanced-uncheck the box next to "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to library"

How can I save a 2009 project in 8.5 without making it a copy in a different folder

I have a project where some files have accidentally been saved in 2009. I want to save them back to 8.5. The save for previous version option makes me create a different folder and then gets the heirarchy incorrect. How can I resave all VI's in there current location without having to save under a different folder?

You don't- you let LabVIEW save them then move them then resolve the conflicts the next time you open them since the vi's will load dependancies from a different location and you'll get a bunch of warnings and conflicts.
This type of mistake can cause a lot of heartache- its painful but, like putting your hand on the grill, you soon learn not to do that again!

How do you get copied files into a folder of our choice?

OK so this may sound like a very basic question, but it has been driving me nuts ever since I bought an Apple Mac some 3 years ago and I find it hard to believe there isnt a solution.
Objective: to copy or import files into a folder previously created by me within Apples 'Pictures' folder. E.g. "Holiday 2012".
Problem: on every program I have used, inc iPhoto, iMovie, and just now, Preview, when I get ready to copy or import say my photo files from my iphone, or an SD card or a network drive, it never gives me the option to navigate to my folder! How mad is this?! Instead I get teh choice of just Apples plain old Documents or Pictures folders but NEVER get given any opportunity via the dialog box to navigate to my "Holiday 2012" folder. There just is not any obvious way to do it. So instead I get my hundreds of pictures listed directly under Pictures folder, to therefore added to all the other hundreds of pictures listed there. A terrible way to kep pictures.
What I need: someone to tell me how to do this or if its not possible then to tell me that. It is a basic operation that I have been able to do on Windows PC's since they were built. Wht not on Mac? Maybe the solution is right in front of me... if it is then its not intuitive, thats all I can say!
Can you help please?

Hi. Ok.
I have just tried the process again in Preview and in desperation this time clicked on 'Other' in the dialogue box when trying to Import. Low and behold I found the way to navigate to my own folders instead of being forced to use Apples standard Folders called Documents and Pictures.
So problem solved.
Its daft that you cant click on the first folder names listed like you can in Windows so you can then reveal the subfolders. I guess its just another Apple-ism. Too bad it took me three years to find it but then I suppose I gave up early.

Can't copy files to server folder

I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise and need to copy the contents of a CD to one of our W2003 servers. I have a shared folder on the server so I start copying files from the CD, to this folder. Part way through the copy it says "You need permission
to perform this action".
??? I HAVE permission. I'm in the middle of copying files to it. I logged on to the server. My username has full control permissions over the shared folder in question on the share and the file system. I can create new
files in the share, create new folders and I've tried copying the disc to my desktop first and then to the share and I keep getting the same error. I can copy any file off my desktop to this share except the files that came from the disc. Why would
I get this error part way though the copy process?
Thanks!
Edit: I managed to copy all files except "Autorun.inf". Does Windows havd some restriction about copying this file?

Hi,
1.
Please test other CDs to see if the same issue occurs.
2.
Manually insert the CD to Windows Server 2003 machine and copy to Windows Server 2003 to see if the issue occurs.

Dale

Copy file ( .fmb ) from folder to folder

What is the command to use from Oracle Forms or from the database to copy a file from one folder to another?
An example for link will be greatly appreciated

Hi,
Remember, the HOST call runs the OS command. So, you may need to use appropriate OS commands in the call. In windows, you may use "copy" but, if your App Server is of Unix flavor, you may want to use "cp".
Also, if you are planning to do it in the client machine, you need to fist identify the client OS and execute the appropriate command depending on it.

Why do copied files show different file sizes than the original files?

When I copy files (to another drive, folder, etc.) some show the same file size as the original, but others don't.
I'm guessing this is not abnormal, but what causes it?
Thanks.

Hi dymar,
Copying to another Drive is understandable, they may have a differentnumber of Blocks allocated per file, for insnce a one Byte file might take up 512 bytes, 1024 Bytes, etc, but a Get info should show the actual size of the file within that/those blocks.
If copying to another Format, like MS-DOS, Forks may be lost also.
There are ways to actually Compare the files...

Can't copy file from Shared Folder

Hi,
Does anyone here knows how to copy file from shared music. I can view others shared music but can't do anything about it. When I tried to Right Click on music I want to copy. There are only 3 options (Get info, Unchecked Selection & Copy). I chose copy, but don't know what to do next. I wanted to place it in my Library but don't have an option to do it.
Please help.
Thanks,
guadz

I've never copied music, but have you tried just dragging the file to your library? Not 100% sure if it works, never tried it myself. Also, if you right click in your library, can you paste?
