Help with moving file in Java using renameTo()

[PLUCKYHD]

I am trying to move files to a new directory in java and I am having issues as I am not very familiar with creating/moving directories/files in java.

I am using renameTo() here is an example of code

File = ("pic.jpg")
Dir = ("fanartfolder")

I then use

boolean filecopied = File.renameTo(new File(Dir,File.getName()));

I then check with the boolean wether or not it is done. My question is does the directory have to exist or do I need to create it in java as well before copying files into it? or will it create the directory when I copy files regardless?

TIA

Okay answered my own question the directory has to exist. No off to figure out how to create the directory

Okay I keep getting failures on trying to create directorys I am using the following

String dir = "directory path" (ie "\\\server\\movies\\test")
File fdir = new File(dir);
if (fdir.isDirectory() == false){
boolean dirmade = fdir.mkdir();

I check the return of dirmade and am always getting false.

Jeff helped me with this for those interested i needed to check again existance ( exist() )not isdirectory.

Yo may also want to look at fdir.mkdirs(); (S at the end)
