Hello Darrel,
Thanks for reaching us over email. This is a known issue that only appears on some machines, and we currently do not have a workaround for it.
Please try the following steps to diagnose the machine that is having issues:
1) Try to use the system's copy command from MATLAB. You can use the following example:
!cp Firefox_wallpaper.png ../dir2/"
2) Try using fully qualified URLs, where 'path' is the appropriate full path:
copyfile('file:///path/to/Firefox_wallpaper.png', 'file:///path/dir2/Firefox_wallpaper.png');
3) Make sure that 'copyfile' is not shadowed by another function, using command:
which -all copyfile
4)Check if 'copyfile' command works on both command line and MATLAB command line.
5)Check permissions on Unix using 'la -ls' and change them with 'chmod' if necessary.
6)Try reinstalling the MATLAB.
I hope this helps!
Regards,
Shuba Nandini
