------------------------

             Summary: FileUtils.copyDirectory and copyFile fail on AIX hosts over CIFS mounted directory
                 Key: IO-371
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-371
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Utilities
    Affects Versions: 2.4
         Environment: Java 1.6, AIX, FileUtils, Groovy 2.1.1, cifs
            Reporter: jonny
            Priority: Minor


In a groovy script that imports org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils, I'm trying to copy a directory from one location to another. Both locations are accessed through a mounted CIFS directory. When I try, I get this exception:
{code}
java.io.IOException: A system call received a parameter that is not valid.

This executes normally on Windows using the same version of Java (1.6). Another user has a similar experience that makes me think this is an issue specific to AIX: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15092855/howto-copy-a-folder-and-all-its-content-in-java-recursively-including-symbolic

Given the stack trace, this is probably something that Java 1.7 addressed, but it may be worthwhile for the copyDirectory and copyFile methods to provide a switch to handle symbolic links.
