Problem writing to C:/Data

[overtime66]

Hi,

I have a problem creating a new directory in symbian 60 series on C:/Data or any other public place.
It throws the exception: Access denied.
When i use Phone memory/private/test it creates the directory in C:/Private/MIDlets/102033E6/[101143c7]/test

I use the following block of code to create a directory:

FileConnection fc = null;
String connection = "file:///C:/Data/test";
try {
fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open(connection);
	if(!fc.exists()) {
		fc.mkdir();
	rootForm.append(new StringItem("Dirctory created succesfully:",connection));
       }	
       else {
         rootForm.append(new StringItem("Dirctory alerady   exists:",connection));
       }
			}
			catch (Exception e) {
				rootForm.append(new StringItem("Error creating file/directory:",e.getMessage()));
			}
			finally {
				if(fc!=null) {
					try {
						fc.close();
					}
					catch (IOException e) {
						System.err.println("An error occured while trying to close the File connection");
						e.printStackTrace();
					}
				}
			}

Can someone please help me?
I'm searching posts for several days now without luck.

Thanks,
Josef

Hi,
Can you try this. Give the file name to be created as
"C:\\Data\\YourFileName.txt", thats how it is mentioned in Symbian C++.

Hi,

I have found a semi solution.
After reading the following article:

http://www.forum.nokia.com/document/Java_ME_Developers_Library_v1/GUID-1128F1CF-887B-4D0D-B0AE-77982070821D.html

I came to the understanding that i can't write files to c:\data.
first i have found out that "file:///Phone memory" refers to "C:\Data". Than i came to the conclusion that i can only write directories/files to C:\data\Images folder or the application private folder. (I choose the first option....)

Thanks for your help
Josef
