FileConnection open returns IOException

[browndrf]

hi there,
When I try to open a file using fileconnection apis, I get an IOException.
The error message is "Opening a connection failed: -5".

What does this error mean ? How can I debug it ?

environment

device : Nokia 6682
file path : file:///MemoryStick/images/test.jpg --> this file is present and readable
api call: FileConnection fileConn = (FileConnection) Connector.open(fileName, Connector.READ);
security: file connecctor read permission enabled.

thanks

hi brown,

try to enumerate roots first (use nokia example midlet for that) to see how it works on that specific device (mean: file connection),
regards,

That worked !
The root was not "Memorystick", it is "Memory Card" .
Thanks for the information Peter, greatly appreciated.
