Node.js Error: EISDIR, open Error

I am trying to copy one folder to another using node.js here is folder path:-

D:\node\files\11\j1_1\j1_2\j1_3 I want to copy folder j1_3 to path D:\node\files\11\j1_1\

here is my code:-

var source = fs.createReadStream(old);
var dest = fs.createWriteStream(newp);
source.pipe(dest);
source.on('end', function () { /* copied */ });
source.on('error', function (err) {
    console.log("hi");
    /* error */
});

but I am getting this error:-

events.js:72
    throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
          ^
 Error: EISDIR, open 'D:\node\files\11\j1_1'

I have also try fs.rename function but getting same error.

First: EISDIR means "error! target is a dir"(i guess), about the error

Second: ncp is what you need i guess
