Copying all files and folders in a specified drive

[pyte]

HI,


wrote this code with an intention to copy files from a specified directory / file
 

Code: [Select]

import os
import shutil
sourcePath = r'G:/Air.doc'
destPath = r'C:\Users\Desktop\test'
shutil.copy(sourcePath, destPath)


this only copies a specified file(in my case Air.doc)


Now ild like to know how ild modify the same to copy everything from a specified drive over a network and also be able to attach the files to an email and send automatically at a scheduled time.

Not sure about attaching to emails and whatnot, but to copy all files, do this:
instead of
sourcePath = r'G:/Air.doc'
put
sourcePath = r'G:/*.*'
or better yet, just
sourcePath = "G:\\*.*"

[pyte]

great! that  works. thanx

If you want to keep a folder structure you can use batch

Code: [Select]

@echo off
xcopy "C:\location\folder" "C:\destination\folder" /e

Yes, you can use popen or system in the os module.

As for email, you will need to look up MIME types and how to creation emails in python. There are built-in libs, so go Google.
