Moving Files Using the Library

Have you ever needed to move a file from one location to another? Perhaps you’ve got some secret treasure maps that need to be transported to a new hiding spot. Whatever the reason may be, moving files can be a hassle. But fear not, Apache Commons IO has got yer back.

To move a file using Apache Commons IO, we’ll be using the FileUtils.moveFile() method. This method takes two parameters: the file to be moved, and the destination file path.

File sourceFile = new File("old/path/to/file.txt");
File destFile = new File("new/path/to/file.txt");

try {
    FileUtils.moveFile(sourceFile, destFile);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

That’s it! With just a few lines of code, we can move a file to a new location. It’s almost as easy as commandeering a merchant ship.
