hi ,
this is hemu...
i am unable to crate either a folder or a file in linux using a JSP program.If I create the folder manually and search for it its giving the status as true.

I am using Fedora 6 Version of Linux. Is this with the problem of Linux Version or with the installation or with the file permissions

Just a guess, but it may be a SELinux rule. Java is a pretty big target for malware.

This could be one of those confusing features of java: "true" does not necessarily mean that a file / directory has physically been created, i.e. on disk. If you created the file in an accessible directory (such as home), you shouldn't experience any issue with permissions. If it still doesn't work , you should look into the exact meaning of the mkdir etc. Making the files and directories (empty) oneself before setting to work is something that should help.
