Problem while copying a file from a remote filer
Hi all,
I have to write an application which does a move and copy of a
file from a remote machine to the local machine. I tried something
like:
file = urvenuwin2008\\C\\4Folders\\Folder02\\Folder002\
\TextFile_06.txt
dest = C:\\test
shutil.copy(file,dest)
But it is throwing an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File E:\venu\Testing Team\test.py, line 22, in module
shutil.copy(file,dest)
File C:\Python26\lib\shutil.py, line 88, in copy
copyfile(src, dst)
File C:\Python26\lib\shutil.py, line 52, in copyfile
fsrc = open(src, 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('rb') or filename: u'\\\
\venuwin2008C4FoldersFolder02Folder002\\\
\TextFile_06.txt'
Can some one please help me in this regard.
Thank you
Venu madhav
