    if(!file.exists()) {
        System.out.println("File does not exist.");
        return;
    }
    System.out.println("Name: " + file.getName()); // name
    System.out.println("Absolute Path: " + file.getAbsolutePath()); // Absolute Path
    System.out.println("File size: " + file.length()); // File size
    System.out.println("Readable: " + file.canRead()); // Readable
    System.out.println("Writeable: " + file.canWrite()); // Writeable
