Copy multiple files in Python

Question

How to copy all the files present in one directory to another directory using Python. I have the source path and the destination path as string.

Answer 1

If you don't want to copy the whole tree (with subdirs etc), use or glob.glob("path/to/dir/*.*") to get a list of all the filenames, loop over the list and use shutil.copy to copy each file.

for filename in glob.glob(os.path.join(source_dir, '*.*')):
    shutil.copy(filename, dest_dir)
