I'm trying to create a CSV file in a Java program. No matter where the file is located, I've this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: <location> (Access is denied)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)

I have the same error for the .PDF and .DOC files. I have no error with .TXT, .JSON ......

I have the administator rights.

I think it's Microsoft Office which protect .DOC and .CSV files.

    "Access is denied" suggest you have permission issue. I would check which credential the Java application runas. Try some basic file reading from the temp directory just to eliminate code error or security issue. – Minh Kieu May 16 '17 at 16:53

When you call new File your are supposed to give the file name, not only the directory you want to put your file in.

Try with something like

File file = new File("D:/Data/" + item.getFileName());

  • One possibility of error I just pointed out , if that helps him fine – Cork Kochi May 16 '17 at 16:55
  • File file = new File("D:/Data/" + item.getFileName()); This line works if the file is a .txt file or .json file. But, if I try with a .csv file, it doesn't work. If I remove the extension, for example "result" instead of "result.csv", it works. The problem is the extension .csv and I don't know how fix this problem. – Jerem Lvz May 16 '17 at 17:11

Try printing the fileObj.getAbsolutePath(); to see if the file object is referring to the correct location/file.

If it is correct, then the problem is with access.

Remember, you may see the Access Denied error even if the file already exists and is being used by another program.

You should consider posting some code so that we can review the code blocks to identify a solution.
