Download a file or directory

Kid

Hey guys,

 

actually I am trying to program a Java application which can enter dropbox, look up which directories and files exist, upload a file and download a directory. Unfortunately I have some problems with the downloading part.

Every time I try to download  only a file the  it tells me that:

 

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: \test.txt (Zugriff verweigert)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open0(Native Method)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Unknown Source)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
at Dropbox.downloadFile(Dropbox.java:73)
at Main.main(Main.java:15)

 

But I know that this file exists. here is the code for the downloading function

 

public void downloadFile(String path) throws ListFolderErrorException, DbxException, IOException
{
      FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/test.txt");
      DbxDownloader<FileMetadata> downloader = null;
      FileMetadata response;

      response = downloader.getResult();
      try {
            InputStream in = downloader.getInputStream();
      } finally {
            downloader.close();
      }
}

 

Can someonehelp me with that? I can't really find an answer in web.

Based on the stack trace, this error is ocuring in the "new FileOutputStream" line, and not in Dropbox code, so I'm afraid I can't offer much insight.

 

That said, the "Zugriff verweigert" error seems to translate to "Access denied", so it may be a permissions issue. You'll need to investigate why you don't have permission to access that file, and fix it so that you can.
