title: in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, "rt") : cannot open file: No such file or directory
body: <p>I am trying to upload a file of csvs and other documents into R studio. My code looks like the following.</p>
  
  <pre><code>setwd("~/Dropbox/R")
  getwd()
  [1] "/Users/me/Dropbox/R"
  myData &lt;-read.csv("~/Dropbox/Exercise_Files")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The message returned is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
  In addition: Warning message:
  In file(file, "rt") :
  cannot open file '/Users/me/Dropbox/R/Exercise_Files': No such file or 
  directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't understand why R is telling me no such directory when getwd() shows the directory I am using. Nor do I understand why I am being told that there are no such files--I put them into the directory! They are right there! Please help; I have tried everything.</p>
