Creating hotfolder INPUT OUTPUT Python. PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Question

`Hey,

I want to create "IN" folder where I can move data base for data processing and ready file should move to "OUT" folder. But I stuck with PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied. T have tried a lot of things, used shutil library, "run as administrator", all folders have permission, my file has access, but error is still here. Hope to get your help`

main_folder = 'C:\\TEST_DATA'
input_folder = os.path.join(main_folder, 'C:\\TEST_DATA\\IN')
output_folder = os.path.join(main_folder, 'C:\\TEST_DATA\\OUT')
archive_folder = os.path.join(main_folder, 'C:\\TEST_DATA\\Archive')

    # Check if the file is CSV or Excel

        df = pd.read_csv(input_file_path, sep = ';', header= None, encoding='cp1252')
        df.columns = df.iloc[0]
