I am copying music files from on HD to another. I have adjusted all permissions in the folder and in particular. I still get this: "Items can’t be copied to ( Drive Name ) because you don’t have permission to read them. " There are no more permissions to change. The drives and the files have all been switched to all "read and write." Any Ideas?

in Finder, select one of the SOURCE files (not just the folder). Get info. what are its settings?
Could that file be copy-protected?
Could that file be damaged and unreadable due to damage?
That's does not look like a regular drive. What is it, an NAS server? How is it connected to your computer?
and thanks for answering

Having that work correctly requires that everything on your Mac's Ethernet be set perfectly. One tiny wrong setting and it stops working completely.
You should connect its Ethernet to your Router's Ethernet. Then you will get more reliable access from every device on your network, using Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and the Router manages any transitions needed.
Items can’t be copied because you don’t have permission to read them.
