Need JFileChooser Help
Hello, I am new to these forums and am newer to Java programming (I've only done around 5 or 6 simple programs). This time I think I bit off more than I can chew. I am attempting to create what I thought was a simple program using a GUI to transfer files. The user selects a file through the first JFileChooser, and selects the Destination through the second JFileChooser. Once the copy button is clicked I would like a copy of the source file in the destination directory. Simple huh? The problem I am having is I can't seem to get the files to copy correctly. It doesn't seem that the information from the JFileChooser (getSelectedFile) is passing the file to my copy method. Here is the code I have so far. Any pointers or critiques would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.io.File.*;

public class FileCopy extends javax.swing.JFrame implements ActionListener {

    JFileChooser jfc;
    JFrame frame;
    public javax.swing.JButton CopyBtn;
    public javax.swing.JButton DestinationBtn;
    public javax.swing.JTextField DestinationTxt;
    public javax.swing.JButton RenameBtn;
    public javax.swing.JButton ResetBtn;
    public javax.swing.JButton SourceBtn;
    public javax.swing.JTextField SourceTxt;
    public javax.swing.JLabel jLabel1;
    public javax.swing.JLabel jLabel2;
    public File input = null;
    public File output = null;
    
    

    public FileCopy() {

        SourceBtn = new javax.swing.JButton();

Lots of discussions are going on here in our community regarding the JFileChooser. Search the forum may helps you too.

Thanks Hardwired, that really helped a lot. Like I said I couldn't figure out why the info wasn't passing from the JFileChooser into my variables. One more question, if I want to be able to copy entire folders as well as files how difficult would that be? I don't want to make this simple program more complicated than it should be. Thanks again!

Not too bad. Just do a little at a time. The File api has what you will need to do this. Try copying all files in the input folder first. When you get that down then work on the folder part. For this you can make up a recursive method that will traverse the folder hierarchy, ie, child folders within parents. Then you can use what you've developed before to copy the files from/in each folder as you go.
