JAVA - Get access to a file in different subfolder

Question

I am programming a file transfer, and i am having troubles with it. In my current location i have created a folder called "Server Folder", where i will have files that the Client can transfer (I will be transfered with the same name, to the workspace directory), But every time i try to access it, it fails.

FILE_SERVER_PATH = "./ServerFolder/";

File fileToRead = new File(FILE_SERVER_PATH + fileName);
        fileToRead = fileToRead.getParentFile();


        if(fileToRead.exists()){
            FileInputStream readingBuffer = new FileInputStream(fileToRead);

fileName is received throw datagram, and the name is correct. It always fails in the condition --> fileToRead.exists()

Can anyone please give me a tip?

Thx! :-)

Answer 1

try to use the folder path as absolute.

will help and work...current directory works only if you know in which directory you are in at the time of execution.
