Failing to copy file from a network to a local drive
#1
Hi,
I'm trying to copy files from a network folder.
For some reason my code produces an error:
import os
import shutil

fname = 'somelog_file.txt'
p04 = 'D:\\JFLogs\\p04\\'  ## local folder ##
h04 = '\\\\FF04OBS0004\\c$\\dir\\subdir\\' 

fto_download = h04+fname
print (fto_download)
shutil.copy(fto_download, p04) 
Any help appreciated!
Thank you!

"No such file or directory...."
I can map the directory to my Server and I see the files and access etc...
I do not understand what I'm doing wrong Cry

Just wanted to share,
Adding 'try' fixed the problem Cool

import os
import shutil
 
fname = 'somelog_file.txt'
p04 = 'D:\\JFLogs\\p04\\'  ## local folder ##
h04 = '\\\\FF04OBS0004\\c$\\dir\\subdir\\' 
 
fto_download = h04+fname
print (fto_download)
try:

    shutil.copy(fto_download, p04)
except Exception as e:
    print (e)
Thank you! Big Grin
