Enable copying of directories (directory targets)

[Nollde]

The target module implements the copying of files (file targets) 1. It would be nice to also enable the copying of whole directories (directory targets). A possible implementation of a file-directory-capable copying function could look like this 2:

import shutil, errno

def copyanything(src, dst):
    try:
        shutil.copytree(src, dst)
    except OSError as exc: # python >2.5
        if exc.errno == errno.ENOTDIR:
            shutil.copy(src, dst)
        else: raise

Hi @Nollde , thanks for opening. Yes, this has been on my list for quite a while. The local implementation is straight forward, unlike the remote one which requires some time. However, it should actually be possible with the updated remote file interface.
