How to move files from one drive to another drive in java

Question

I am trying to move a file using java, from one folder to another folder, however the folders are on different hard drives, which fails to work with the renameTo method. I only need this feature to work on linux...

Answer 1

Moving files between different filesystems requires you to copy them. The vanilla JDK doesn't have any method to do that, you'll have to do it yourself (eg by using FileInputStream / FileOutputStream).

Answer 2

If you want to move files on different file Systems. Copy and Delete.
