Answer 1

You are providing the absolute path by prep-ending / in the path. It means root directory in Unix file system. so, you have to give a relative path of the file from the current directory.You can put files directory in the root directory of your project folder and use

fileInputStream=new FileInputStream("files/storetime.txt");

So, it will be picked up

Answer 2

Use FileInputStream(new File("files/storetime.txt")); don't use /file -> it will check for /file partition in linux as /root
