Unable to access jarfile

Apparently everything was working fine before I restarted my macOS. After restarting I am facing following problems on desktop folder while using terminal

It didn't allow me to run basic linux command like "ls" in desktop directory. I gave permission to terminal to access full disk then it worked fine.
There is a jar file in desktop that I am not able to access/execute. The same jarfile I am able to execute in other directory. I have checked read and write access of current user for desktop directory and they are correct.

Not sure what is the issue here. how to resolve this issue? I want to run this in desktop folder only -

java -jar file.jar

I was able to resolve this issue, I was giving /usr/local/bin/java permission instead of "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-13.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java". After this I was able to run jarfile.

macOS doesn’t run Linux. It runs Unix. Linux did copy most of Unix.

The java program may not have access to your documents. Apps have to ask permission to access your data.

Another possibility is if you have Desktop & Documents in iCloud Drive, and that file hasn’t been downloaded, the java command may not trigger the download in order to run the actual file.

I have provided /usr/bin/java to access full disk and it didn't work. iCloud is turned off so that should not be an issue.

I re-read your post and since you cannot even List the directory, try adding Terminal to Full Disk Access.

I was able to list the directory as mentioned in first point but couldn't run a java jar file present in desktop. I have given both terminal and usr/bin/java to full disk access.
