estou armazenando imagens no Linux EXTREME VPS usando java

quando eu armazená-lo no caminho do servidor que estou recebendo é

/var/sentora/hostdata/campusguru/public_html/resources/images/bharath.png

lendo o caminho usando o seguinte código

if(imagePath != null && imagePath.length() > 0 )
    {      

        byte fileContent[] = new byte[3000];
        try (FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(new File(imagePath))) {  //here the exception
            while(fin.read(fileContent) >= 0) {
                // Base64.encodeBase64(fileContent);
            }
        } 

        imagePath = imagePath.replace("\\", "/");


        byte[] imageInByte;
        BufferedImage originalImage = ImageIO.read(new File(imagePath));


        // convert BufferedImage to byte array
        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        ImageIO.write(originalImage, "png", baos);
        baos.flush();
        imageInByte = baos.toByteArray();
        baos.close();
        encodedFile = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(imageInByte);

    }         
    stuAdmissionDetails.setStuImg(encodedFile);    
}  

Quando eu li usando o código acima, estou recebendo a seguinte exceção

java.io.FileNotFoundException: \var\sentora\hostdata\campusguru\public_html\resources\images\bharath.png (The system cannot find the path specified)

Como resolver este problema?

existe alguma outra maneira de ler arquivos do servidor linux?
