FileNotFound even though File does exist

Question

Excuse me for the sloppy code, it is just a test project and I've been working on this bug for at least a week now

public static void main(String[] args){
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    List<Report> report =  new ArrayList<Report>();
    Report test = new Report();
    File file = new File("testByte.txt");
    Scanner inputFile;
    try {
        inputFile = new Scanner(new File("port.txt"));

        while(inputFile.hasNext())
        {
                test.LoadFromFile(inputFile);
                report.add(test);   
        }

        inputFile.close();


        PdfMaker pdf = new PdfMaker(report);

        try {
            pdf.createLog();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (DocumentException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }



    try
    {
        boolean check = true;
        FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(file);

        for(int i = 0; i < report.size(); i++)
        {
            report.get(i).WriteToFile(output, check);
            check = false;
        }

    }catch(IOException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

}

I get the file not found error on the line

FileNotFoundException(Throwable).(String) line: 264

inputFile = new Scanner(new File("port.txt");

I've checked the properties of the file and everything checks out to be okay

It is located in the appropriate folder

The source path does have the workbench folder as a path.

If anyone could point me in the direction to fix this problem, it would be very helpful since I've wasted hours searching for the internet.

*I bet it is something easy and I'm just to blind to see it

What do you mean with "appropriate folder"? From which directory you execute the program? Where is your file? Same dir as where you start the program? — Matteo, Aug 14 '13 at 06:50
BY appropriate folder I meant the default folder for the dir, where the project is located — Charles Selander, Aug 15 '13 at 17:11
