About File permissions in C#

Question

While creating a file synchronization program in C# I tried to make a method copy in LocalFileItem class that uses System.IO.File.Copy(destination.Path, Path, true) method where Path is a string.
After executing this code with destination. Path = "C:\\Test2" and this.Path = "C:\\Test\\F1.txt" I get an exception saying that I do not have the required file permissions to do this operation on C:\Test, but C:\Test is owned by myself (the current user).
Does anybody knows what is going on, or how to get around this?

Here is the original code complete.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

namespace Diones.Util.IO
{
    /// <summary>
    /// An object representation of a file or directory.
    /// </summary>
    public abstract class FileItem : IComparable

    {
        protected String path;
        public String Path
        {
            set { this.path = value; }
            get { return this.path; }
        }
        protected bool isDirectory;
        public bool IsDirectory
        {
            set { this.isDirectory = value; }
            get { return this.isDirectory; }
        }
        /// <summary>
        ///  Delete this fileItem.
        /// </summary>
        public abstract void delete();

It seems you have misplaced the parameters in File.Copy(), it should be File.Copy(string source, string destination).

Also is "C:\Test2" a directory? You can't copy file to a directory. Use something like that instead:

File.Copy( 
    sourceFile,
    Path.Combine(destinationDir,Path.GetFileName(sourceFile))
    )

;
