I don't know for sure, so the simple answer is, if you require a certain behaviour, read:

File paying attention to the mkdirs method.

Then use the appropriate constructors for FileWriter and PrintWriter.

If this appears to be working, i.e. no IOException is thrown, can I suggest that you do something like:



And see if the path is what you expect it should be.

Only if you own the directory or are root.
