Forgive me if this doesn't belong on this forum, but I did check the Sun listing of Java forums, and did not find one that matched the Java.IO libraries.
As part of my web application, I am attempting via a Java class (NOT a bean that runs in my web apps, but a separate class file that runs as a console application) to rename a txt file that is FTP'd over to my server. The file is saved by the FTP program to my web applications subdirectory under IIS's InetPub subdirectory. The server is a Windows 2000 application server running JRUN 3.1 and IIS 5.0. Bottom line, I am unable to get the method File.renameTo() to work. I've done some research on this issue via Google and the Sun listservers, and have found that this method of the File object often does NOT work on Windows servers due to some type of Windows security issues. I need to rename this file by appending the system date to the beginning of the filename, otherwise the file will be overwritten the next day when my customer FTP's a new file over to me. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can rename this file successfully? I am reluctant to use runtime.exec() to start another thread, but I will do so if I have no other options. Thanks in advance for any assistance on this issue!
