Hi, Is the folder where the file is present i.e. "temp" in your case, shared???? Can you share it and try it?? I tried this way and it worked! import shutil shutil.copyfile(r'\\129.124.66.112\Samplesharedfolder\samplefile.txt', r'C:\\Test\\temppp.txt') Try this way and let me know -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
