How to continue copying on error with copyDirectory from FileUtils (Apache Commons IO 2.4)
- by Exocom
I am trying to copy files from one folder to another using the FileUtils method "static void copyDirectory(File srcDir, File destDir)" from apache commons io (2.4) with the following code:
String srcDir = "/sourceDirectory/examples/";
String destDir = "/tmp/examples/";
try{
FileUtils.copyDirectory(new File(srcDir), new File(destDir));
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
The file structure looks like the following:
examples/ (read access)
examples/.subdirectory (NO access)
examples/file1.txt (read access)
examples/file2.txt (read access)
examples/subdirectory2/file1.txt (read access)
examples/subdirectory2/file2.txt (NO access)
The problem is, that in srcDir there are a few files and one subdirectory I don't have access to. FileUtils.copyDirectory throws an "java.io.FileNotFoundException: .subdirectory (Permission denied)" and aborts.
Is it possible to ignore those files I don't have permission to and just copy all the other files I can read?
