I am trying to copy a file from one folder to another folder.

Here's what I have got in my code:

public static void copyFile(String path) throws IOException{
   newPath = path;    
   File destination = new File ("E:/QA/chart.js"); 
   FileUtils.copyFile(destination, new File(newPath));      
}

But it is not copying the desired file to its location. What is required, its copy chart.js from E drive and copy to the newPath variable location.

Is there some other way to copy files from one place to another?
