Getting “java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException” when trying to write to a folder

Ok it turns out I was doing something stupid. I hadn’t appended the new file name to the path.

I had

rootDirectory = "C:\\safesite_documents"

but it should have been

rootDirectory = "C:\\safesite_documents\\newFile.jpg" 

Sorry it was a stupid mistake as always.
