No such file or directory would normally mean file does not exist. Please edit the code and debug it either using a IDE or by adding print statements. Also, current_directory could be renamed currentDirectory to be consistent with Java naming conventions. Try running code below.

public static void fileGenerator(String in, String out) {      
try {
    String currentDirectory = System.getProperty("user.dir");
    System.out.println(currentDirectory);
    String inputFileName = currentDirectory+"/"+in;
    File inputFile = new File(inputFileName);
    System.out.println(inputFile.getAbsolutePath());
    FileReader inputFileReader = new FileReader(inputFile);
    Scanner input = new Scanner(inputFileReader);
    PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter(currentDirectory+"/"+out);
    while(input.hasNext()) {
        String line = input.nextLine(); 
    output.println(line);
    output.close(); 
    }
  }  catch (Exception e) { 
      e.printStackTrace();
  }
}
