I´m trying to copy a json file from downloads to my folder. But I keep getting this error:

copyfile("C:/Users/pablo/Downloads/kaggle.json", "C:/Users/juan/.kaggle/")

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:/Users/juan/.kaggle/'

How can I solve this?

copyfile need as the first argument the input file and as second argument the output file.
You have a / at the end of the output file argument, so python think it is a directory.

If you want to copy the "C:/Users/pablo/Downloads/kaggle.json" file to the directory ".kaggle" then you need to put the filename at the end of the output file argument.

from shutil import copyfile

copyfile("C:/Users/pablo/Downloads/kaggle.json", "C:/Users/juan/.kaggle/kaggle.json")
