python - Copy a folder and its contents to USB stick in Ubuntu -


How do I create a Python script that mimics the folder and all its contents in a USB memory stick from my Linux laptop is?

I tried to use the shutil.copytree and it will not work. I tried to use the terminal command and it just copied the folders, but the file No.

Copywriting error: 

  "/ usr / lib / python3.4 / os.py", Line 237, fileExistsError in makedirs mkdir (name, mode): [Errno 17] File exists: '/ media / user / jake'  

  Import Shell shutil.copytree (src, dest)

shutil.copytree (src, dst, silicinks = False, unblock = none)

Always copy a whole directory tree that is on src. Destination directory, in the name of DST, should not exist already;

The destination directory, designated by DST,

should not already exist or

using subprocess , You need the -R flag: 

  subprocess.check_call (["cp", "source", "-r", "dest"]) < / Code>
