Copy files from Windows folder tree to another folder

I have a Windows folder structure and files, something like below

I want to copy all files to a destination folder like below

I tried using glob.glob() to get list of files in the source tree structure but am not able copy them to destination. I tried shutils.copytree() but it copies the tree structure also and I want the destinationfolder to be flat. I tried os.walk() but it also does not work for me. Or I don't know how to set the parameters for the above functions to make them work.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

try looping through the list you got from glob.glob and use shutil.copy() syntax for shutil is shutil.copy(src,dest)

you have to make a destination folder and destination path like (foldername/filename.txt)

import os
import shutil

    for f in list(glob.glob()):
        destpath = os.path.join('c:\\dest',f.split(\\)[-1])
        shutil.copy(f,destpath)
