Java copy file from folder to another folder with different name

I configured my properties file with my source path and dest path :

pathSource = C://Test
pathOut = C://Test//Folder

I try to copy this file from pathSource to pathOut (with variable config.getValue() :

Files.copy(config.getValue("pathTemplate"), config.getValue("pathOut"), REPLACE_EXISTING);

My 2 variables config are String why I have this error : Cannot resolve method 'copy(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.nio.file.StandardCopyOption)

Files.copy method does not accept String parameters. It accepts Path parameters. Please see the documentaion: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/nio/file/Files.html You will have to change your config.getValue to return a Path object or convert the String output into Path objects

Files.copy() requires the first two parameters to be of type Path.
You need to construct those from your strings i.e.

Path input = Paths.get(config.getValue("pathTemplate"));
Path output = Paths.get(config.getValue("pathOut"));
Files.copy(input, output, REPLACE_EXISTING);
