    Default Scanner - file not found?

    Please explain what happens when File looks properly initiated but Scanner can't adopt this File?

    Create object file, it is opened, I can apply methods, read path, properties, length etc.
    File file = new File("in.txt");

    Next trying to create new Scanner and it throws exception file not found? How?
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(file);

    Utils and io library imported.

    Just write in the exception. File not found exception. try { catch } statement inside. Then compile it.

    Can you post a small, complete program that compiles and shows the problem when executed?

    Which of the methods that you called makes you think the file exists?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
