File Upload on a remote Windows Machine

I was trying some stuff out and nothing spectacular. Thought I would put the code down for future. Will need to verify the code for other OSs.

package com.file.upload.windows;

import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;

public class FileUploader {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
	FileUploader fileUploader = new FileUploader();
	fileUploader.upload();
    }

    public void upload() {
	File file = new File("\\\\<PC NAME>\\<FOLDER NAME>\\test.txt");
	if (file.exists()) {
	    throw new RuntimeException(
		"File already created!");
	} else {
	    try {
		boolean fileCreated
		    = file.createNewFile();
		if (fileCreated) {
		    BufferedWriter bw
		        = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
		    bw.write("Testing the File transfer Protocol");
		    bw.close();
		 } else {
		    System.out.println("Unable to create file");
		}
	    } catch (IOException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	    }
	}
    }

}

The only point to note is the URL path. “\\\\<PC NAME>\\<FOLDER NAME>\\test.txt”. Each backward slash is replaced by an additional escape backslash. Hence the path of \\<PC NAME>\<FOLDER NAME>\test.txt becomes \\\\<PC NAME>\\<FOLDER NAME>\test.txt

Have the above source on a Windows based client machine. Need to verify for other OSs. Probably for Linux or Unix we might need a FTP or SFTP server.
