@BORSXN

if !src.is_dir() { fs::create_dir(dst)? }

You are creating the destination dir when the source dir doesn't exist. That doesn't seem right.

but i copyed them from book Programming Rust 2

[carey]

The code from examples/copy/src/main.rs at master · ProgrammingRust/examples · GitHub uses if !dst.is_dir(), not src, though.

I wasn't able to get a permission denied error, but I did get your code to crash on Windows with a stack overflow, or return a "too many open files" error on Linux. Compared to the book's code on Github, this seems to be because your code does copy_to(src, ...), but the example code does copy_to(&entry.path, ....

Can you double-check that your code is equivalent to the code from the book?

oh, I see, Sorry for my careless, thanks !!
