Problem in copying the file to right directory

Question

Hi
I am trying to copy a file uploaded by the user to a new directory. the dir structure is
/data/temp/username/. The username dir is created at the time of upload. so if any user with the username say "bob" logs in, a directory bob is created under /data/temp.
the file uploaded by the user needs to be stored under "bob" dir ....in my case its being stored in /data/temp.
When i try to print file.getAbsoluetPath it shows me as the file is stored under bob....so i get /data/temp/bob/filename.doc
but when i check the dir the file is actually stored under temp & not bob.
Can anyone help please..
Thanx

Hi there
Thanx for you reply.
I read the snippet, but it says about Windows, I am working on Linux. Wont that make a diference when i getAbsoluetpath.. Coz the print statement shows me the path as /data/temp/username
Also i ran a prototype of the code on windows and it seems to work fine ... like it creates a user directory under C:/Java/temp and then stores the file under the new created user directory.
If the code would help to think in a better way heres it:
/* tempdir is already defined in config file as /data/temp .. I am just calling it here to create
the new directory under it.. this line works fine */
File usrDir = new File(tempDir, username);
boolean dirMade = usrDir.makeDir();
String path = dirMade.getAbsolutePath();
File fupload = new File(path, fileName);
/* in the above line, fileName is the name of the file uploaded by client (user) */
String filepath = fupload.getAbsolutePath();
/* in tha bove line gives the path as /data/temp/username/filename.ext */
but when i go to the directory its actually stored as /data/temp/username and /data/temp/filename.ext
Any suggestions please
Thanx
