I have this code sample to Copy files and directories from one location to another. But this exception keep showing every time I run the program. Can anyone please help me find out the error?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

public void listFilesAndFilesSubDirectories(String directoryName) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
    File directory = new File(directoryName);
    //get all the files from a directory
    File[] fList = directory.listFiles();

            //System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());
            System.out.println("File");

            File source = new File("C:\\Users\\Core i3\\Desktop\\Check me\\" + file);
            File dest = new File("C:\\Users\\Core i3\\Desktop\\New folder");
            System.out.println(source);

            InputStream is = null;
            OutputStream os = null;
