Writing byte data to directory

Question

I try to write byte data to directory I use the following code but i get this

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\file (Access is denied)
    at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
    at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:213)
    at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:162)
    at com.innvo.domain.App.main(App.java:17)

My code:

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

    File dir = new File("C:\\file");
     if (dir.isDirectory())
     {
        String  x="new text string";
        File serverFile = new File(dir.getAbsolutePath());
       BufferedOutputStream stream = new BufferedOutputStream(
             new FileOutputStream(serverFile));
       System.out.println(x.getBytes());
       stream.close();
   }else {
    System.out.println("not");
  }

     }

Looks like the user that executes the app doesn't have the right permissions to create the file. Try writing into a folder where you have such permissions. — Luiggi Mendoza, Feb 03 '15 at 21:01

serverFile is a directory. FileOutputStream does not accept directories. You cannot write to a directory like to a file.
Use something like `

File serverFile = new File(dir,"mynewfile.txt");

Use `new File(dir, "mynewfile.txt")`. – user253751 Feb 03 '15 at 21:09
