    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

    • Press “Windows+E” which will open file explorer.

    Hi Neal,

    • When you say 'copying files' are you referring to burning disc?

    If yes then refer the link below suggested by Andre Da Costa on June 3, 2015
    and follow the steps below.
