Java: Unable to Concatenate to file using  BufferedWriter and FileWriter

I am trying to use BufferedWriter and FileWriter to concatenate the text contents of a file located in "C:\\Source"
to a file of a same name in the "C:\\Destination" directory. I am reading the contents of the source file into an ArrayList<String> , and trying to write it to attach it to the end of the file in the "C:\\Destination" directory.
I set the append parameter of FileWriter to true.

The problem is that the destination file never gets written.  What am I doing wrong here?

The code:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;

public class TestConcatenateFiles {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        String relativeSourceFileName = "Test1.txt";
        String sourceDirPath = "C:\\Source";
        String destDirPath = "C:\\Destination";
        
        processResultInSourceDirIfExistsInDestDir(relativeSourceFileName, sourceDirPath, destDirPath);
                                                                                                                  
    }
    
    
    
    // See if file 'relativeSourceFileName' exists with earlier file date in 'destDirPath' location
    // if it does, than read the file from 'destDirPath' and concatenate to this file the same filename 
    // in 'sourceDirPath'
    private static void processResultInSourceDirIfExistsInDestDir(String relativeSourceFileName, String sourceDirPath, String destDirPath){
        
        // See if file exists in the destination folder:
        File fileOnServer = new File(destDirPath + "\\" + relativeSourceFileName);
        String line = "";
        ArrayList<String> linesListResultFile = new  ArrayList<String>();
        
            if(fileOnServer.exists() && !fileOnServer.isDirectory()) {   // If file exists and it is not directory, 
                // then concatenate current test results to the file on server and save it at local
                // folder to be backed up later on server.
                
                try {
                            // FileReader reads text files in the default encoding:
                            FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(sourceDirPath + "\\" + relativeSourceFileName);
                            // wrap FileReader in BufferedReader:
                            BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);

                            while((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
                                linesListResultFile.add(line);
                            }    
                            // Close file
                            bufferedReader.close();
