Move all files from folder to other folder with java [duplicate]

Answer 1

Since Java 1.7 there is java.nio.file.Files which offers operations to work with files and directories. Especially the move, copy and walkFileTree functions might be of interest to you.

Answer 2

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]
    }
}

Answer 3

By using org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils class

moveDirectory(File srcDir, File destDir) we can move whole directory

Answer 4

• You can rename the directory itself.
• You can iterate over files in directory and rename them one-by-one. If directory can contain subdirectories you have to do this recursively.
• you can use utility like Apache FileUtils that already does all this.
