One more answer which will copy only those files whose having copy access permission. For this first navigate to the directory whose file wanted to copy. Also inside this mention your destination path first where you wanted to copy. Try the below:-

destination_Path="/Users/Home/Desktop/test"
b=~/Desktop/copyPermission.txt
if [ ! -f $b ]
then 
touch $b 
fi
a=`ls -l`
e="-----w--w-"
echo "\n$a" | sed '1d' > $b
g=`pwd`
while read line
do 
d=`echo "$line" | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ $e != $d ]
then
r=`echo "$line" | awk '{print $9}'`
echo "Can have copy permission $g/$r" 
{
cp $g/$r "$destination_Path" && echo "copied successfully"
} || {
echo "cannot copy due to some error"
}
#else
#r=`echo "$line" | awk '{print $9}'`
#echo "Cannot have copy permission $r"
fi
done <"$b"

Try this:

a=`find $Your_Source_Path -iname "yourFolder_whose_Files_tohide" -prune -o -type f -print`
for i in $a
do
   cp $Your_source $Your_Dest_Path
done
