Renaming a file on a server

Question

I'm having some problems renaming a file from a form I created... here is my code below
String file = request.getParameter("file");
String newfile = request.getParameter("newfile");
File f = new File("/my path/" + file + "");
File newf = new File("/my path/" + newfile + "");
f.renameTo(newf);
Any idea why this is not working?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
It may due to space in your folder name.
Try using quote with escape sequence for your folder + file name.
File f = new File("\"/my path/" + file + "\"");
File newf = new File("\"/my path/" + newfile + "\"");
f.renameTo(newf);
Hope this helps.
