dest_path must be relative

Error message

dest_path must be relative

What it means

The relative dest_path contains a Prefix or RootDir component (typically a drive letter like C: or an embedded root slash), which cannot occur inside a genuinely relative path and is rejected by the component loop.

Solutions

1. Strip drive letters and leading slashes from dest_path
2. Use a plain relative path such as 'downloads/file.zip'
