Possible Duplicate:
Copying files from one directory to another in Java

How can I move all files from one folder to other folder with java?
I’m using this code:

import java.io.File;

    public class Vlad {

        /**
         * @param args the command line arguments
         */
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            // TODO code application logic here
            // File (or directory) to be moved
            File file = new File("C:\\Users\\i074924\\Desktop\\Test\\vlad.txt");

            // Destination directory
            File dir = new File("C:\\Users\\i074924\\Desktop\\Test2");

            // Move file to new directory
            boolean success = file.renameTo(new File(dir, file.getName()));
            if (!success) {
                System.out.print("not good");
            }
        }
    }

but it is working only for one specific file.

thanks!!!

    If a File object points to a folder you can iterate over it’s content

    File dir1 = new File("C:\\Users\\i074924\\Desktop\\Test");
    if(dir1.isDirectory()) {
        File[] content = dir1.listFiles();
        for(int i = 0; i < content.length; i++) {
            //move content[i]
        }
    }
