So like, I know that when you copy a file, you do something along the
lines of:

FileChannel ic = new FileInputStream("source.txt").getChannel();
FileChannel oc = new FileOutputStream("target.txt").getChannel();
ic.transferTo(0, ic.size(), oc);
ic.close();
oc.close();

However, I have no intention of copying a file-

So the first ten lines of your message are just starchy
filler, right?

at the end of my
program, I'd like to rename one file and move another. How do I
accomplish this?

By the way, I tried something along the lines of:

res.renameTo(new File(resultsLocation.concat("/" + test.getName() +
"_results.txt")));

Well, that'd be the way to rename a file, assuming res is a File
and resultsLocation is something with a concat() method that returns
a String or a URI. What happened when you tried it?

so could someone explain the proper way to use the method or recommend
a better one?

Thanks!

(Again, just how to MOVE and RENAME a file on the hardisk through
Java)

To rename a file, see above. To move a file -- well, you'd
better describe what you mean by "move."
