Hi everyone,

If I've created a folder, why would I receive a permissions error when
trying to copy the file. My source code is here:

The usual answer to "why would I receive a permissions error" is that you don't actually have permission to access the file.

What is the actual error you get?


When I check the properties/security of the file in question, the system
says I have full control.

This does not sound like a Python problem, but an operating system problem. What OS are you using?

You should check the permissions on the folder, not just the file. Also, if you OS supports it, check any extended permissions and ACLs that might apply. Can you copy the file using another language, e.g. using powershell, bash or applescript? Also check that you are running the Python script as the same user you used when creating the file.
