First of all you need to wrap everything in try/catch and log the exception block to figure out what error is with help of exception.getMessage()

Than the example of copying file is the following

 InputStream inStream = null;
    OutputStream outStream = null;

    try{

        File afile =new File("C:\\foldeOne\\Afile.txt");
        File bfile =new File("C:\\foldeTwo\\Afile.txt");

        inStream = new FileInputStream(afile);
        outStream = new FileOutputStream(bfile);

        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];

        int length;
        //copy the file content in bytes
        while ((length = inStream.read(buffer)) > 0){

            outStream.write(buffer, 0, length);

        }

        inStream.close();
        outStream.close();

        //delete the original file
        afile.delete();

        System.out.println("File is copied successful!");

    }catch(IOException e){
        //Here you suppose to handle exception to figure out what went wrong
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
