Confirm the execution of copy command is successful or not
All,

I have to copy huge file from one location to another using python . I want to make sure the execution of Copy command is successful and all the files are copied properly (there has not been any abrupt interruption to the copy process or error like no space available is encountered during the execution of copy ) .
Please note that I do not have modification access on the directory from where I am copying .

Thanks

One way to verify is to compare the file sizes of the two files.
An 'ls -l' command would tell you lots about each file, including size.

What have you tried, and what have you written so far for your process?

Check the return value of the copy command. It will tell you when it's unsuccessful.

If he's using Python, I'd think just catching any exception from copyfile() should suffice.

No exception? It worked.

Providing nothing else caught any exceptions inside it, yes.
