/home/ag32563/slave doesn't have execute bits for group and world.

This is the directory permissions for the slave

drwxr--r-- 6 ag32563 user 4096 Sep 23 11:10 slave

Does execute bit also needs to be set in order to make a copy?I thought read permissions are sufficient to make a copy from one user to another user.

To traverse the directory tree, the execute bit needs to be set. Try changing it to 755, or drwxr-xr-x.

Also, ensure the same permissions on /home/ag32563 if you want another user to be able to access files further down this tree.

Even changing the permissions to execute does not let me copy the files.
