@MiPakTeh, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, based on my test, you could use try catch to ignore the permission error.

Here is a code example you could refer to.

       private void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                string path = e.FullPath;
                if(File.Exists(path))
                {
                    string filename=Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(path);
                    string path1 = Path.Combine(MyPath_2, filename);
                    Console.WriteLine(  path1);
                    Console.WriteLine( "this is file");
                    File.Copy(path, path1, true );

                }
                if(Directory.Exists(path))
                {
                    string directory= new DirectoryInfo(path).Name;
                    string path2= Path.Combine(MyPath_2, directory);
                    CopyFilesRecursively(path, path2);
                    Console.WriteLine(  path2);
                    Console.WriteLine("this is directory");
                }
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine( ex.Message);
                
            }
        }
        private void CopyFilesRecursively(string sourceDir, string targetDir)
        {
            //Now Create all of the directories\
            if(!Directory.Exists(targetDir))
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(targetDir);
            }
           

            foreach (var file in Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir))
                File.Copy(file, Path.Combine(targetDir, Path.GetFileName(file)),true);

            foreach (var directory in Directory.GetDirectories(sourceDir))
                CopyFilesRecursively(directory, Path.Combine(targetDir, Path.GetFileName(directory)));
        }

After using the above code, you could copy the files and directories to the destination folder.

Best Regards,

Jack
