i am trying to make a reservation apartment application and each apartment must get an image so i created Image entity and since there won't be too many images i decided to store the images in a local folder and not in the DB so i am trying to upload the image in my local file but Spring boot keeps giving me the same error :

i tried to chane the file in which i will save the images but i didn't work. here is the logic i used :
`final String FOLDER_PATH = "C:\\Users\\FTAB TECH\\Desktop";
public String uploadImageToFileSystem(MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
String filePath=FOLDER_PATH+File.separator+file.getOriginalFilename();
Image fileData=repository.save(Image.builder()
.image_url(file.getOriginalFilename())
.file_name(FOLDER_PATH).build());
file.transferTo(new File(FOLDER_PATH));
if (fileData != null) {
return "file uploaded successfully : " + FOLDER_PATH;
}
return null;
}`
and this is the image controller:
`@PostMapping("/fileSystem")
public ResponseEntity<?> uploadImageToFIleSystem(@RequestParam("image")MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
String uploadImage = imageService.uploadImageToFileSystem(file);
return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.OK)
.body(uploadImage);
}`
Change your code like this:
public String uploadImageToFileSystem(MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
String filePath=FOLDER_PATH+File.separator+file.getOriginalFilename();
Image fileData=repository.save(Image.builder()
.image_url(file.getOriginalFilename())
.file_name(FOLDER_PATH).build());
File destination = new File(FOLDER_PATH);
System.out.println("Canonical destination: " + destination.getCanonicalPath());
System.out.println("Can write: " + destination.canWrite());
System.out.println("Is directory: " + destination.isDirectory());
file.transferTo(destination);
if (fileData != null) {
return "file uploaded successfully : " + FOLDER_PATH;
}
return null;
}
And see what those messages say about the destination location.
My guess is that either the location is non-existent/not-writeable or file.transferTo(..) expects a file not a directory.
