[Tutor] copy directory from one part to another and preserve permissions

[Norman Khine]

hello,
i have this code:

if i want to copy the 'files' directory contents and preserve
permissions is this the right way to do this?

import shutil
path_to_old_files_dir = '/var/www/dev.site.com/htdocs/files'
path_to_new_files_dir = '/var/www/site.com/htdocs/sites/default/files'

shutil.rmtree(path_to_new_files_dir)
shutil.copytree(path_to_old_files_dir, path_to_new_files_dir)

thanks
norman
