The first way: use the os-specific function "cp" in linux and "copy" in windows.
The other way: open the sourcefile, read the sourcefile, open the target file, write the sourcefile to the targetfile...

I want to transfer a bunch of files. not just one.
so if i have 10 files in one directory, i want to copy them or move them (after i finish writing to them) to another directory.

Just have a look at the standard module 'shutil', which provides some convenient functions for this. I'm not sure if this is platform-independent.
Good luck

If you want to use shell patterns you need the module 'glob' too:
Code: Alles auswählen
import shutil, glob
for f in glob.glob(r"c:\ham\*.txt"):
shutil.copy(f, r"d:\ham\")
This should work, but I didn't test it.
