How to Save a file uploaded in WebDynpro Java to Windows server

Question

Hi Guys,
I need to save a file uploaded in WebDynpro Java to a location on one of my companys many internal Window servers but I cannot get it to work.  I do not get any errors with the following code, but NOTHING happens...  And when I check the folder it is still emply...  Please advise.  I am particularly not sure about specifying the Path syntax.  Also, I do have permission to write to this server.  Is it even possible to save to a Windows server from WebDynpro??
//uploaded document already in context...
byte[] file = element.getFileResource();
            //    get the size of the uploaded file  
            element.setFileSize(this.getFileSize(file));
            wdContext.currentContextElement().setFSize(this.getFSize(file)); 
            //    get the extension of the uploaded file       
            element.setFileExtension(binaryType.getMimeType().getFileExtension());
            String fName = wdContext.currentContextElement().getFName();
            String fExt = wdContext.currentContextElement().getFileExtension();
            String foName1 = "
server01.w9\Files\P
HRP_Attachments\" + fName + ".pdf";
            File f1 = new File(foName1);
            DataOutputStream dos1;
            dos1 = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f1));
            dos1.write(file);
            dos1.flush();
            dos1.close();

Hi Christiaan,
When specifying the path, make sure you escape the slashes
So, when you would normally use something like
\\server\path\file.txt
in your code you must use it in the form:
String fileName = "\\\\server\\path\\file.txt";
Hope this helps!
