How to append text into an existing file using java 1.4

Question

I want to append into the existing text file. For that I have tried all this in plenty of way FileWriter,BufferedWriter,PrintWriter,RandomAccessFile,OutputStream,FileOutputStream,PrintStream but I can't get my desired output.

This error java.io.FileNotFoundException: could not open file '//file:/usr/backupdata/5605.txt' using mode 'a+' sucks. (I am working with ewon flexy hardware which supports javaetk 1.4 only)

This file not found means your program is not able to find the file. this path is wrong. It has no other meanings. — muasif80, Mar 02 '19 at 07:26
Path is right and file is there too! I guess there is some problem with that mode 'a+' @muasif80 — Vineet Gandhi, Mar 02 '19 at 07:28
No. This exception means only and only one thing the file is not present on the specified path. I don't have any other meanings for it in my knowledge. — muasif80, Mar 02 '19 at 07:29
May be your path construction is wrong the file might be on this path but still the path syntax can be wrong. — muasif80, Mar 02 '19 at 07:30
My files are on ftp server, so `file:////usr/backupdata/5605.txt` is the way to write the class path right? In class 'FileConnection` I use the same method and it works! @muasif80 — Vineet Gandhi, Mar 02 '19 at 08:15

You are trying to use a url as a file name. That won’t work.

Use

/use/backupdata/5605.txt

as the file name.
