You haven't set a `folder_name` so it's just joining in the current working directory with your filename. – Alex Jul 02 '21 at 09:33
What's your folder name ? – Ram Jul 02 '21 at 09:34

Get out of the habit of `for i in range(len(entries))`. Use `for entry in entries:` – Barmar Jul 02 '21 at 09:35
my_folder is my folder name – Sandeep kumar Jul 02 '21 at 09:35

You're not saving anything, you're just printing the pathname. – Barmar Jul 02 '21 at 09:35
```filePath=os.path.join(os.getcwd(),folder_name, entries[i])``` You are just appending the entries to the path. – Ram Jul 02 '21 at 09:36
Why don't you just `print(filePath)`? What's the point of assigning the variable if you're not going to use it? – Barmar Jul 02 '21 at 09:36

Are you trying to copy files? It's not clear from your question what "saving files" means. – loa_in_ Jul 02 '21 at 09:38
yes I'm copying the file from another folder – Sandeep kumar Jul 02 '21 at 09:39
i just wanted the files in that folder – Sandeep kumar Jul 02 '21 at 09:43
@Sandeepkumar where are your files located originally? – UdonN00dle Jul 02 '21 at 09:45
