Gradle + Jenkins: Publishing to other user's directory - deployment

Question

I'm currently using Jenkins, with Gradle to build the projects. I'm currently trying to use the uploadArchives task to place the generated jars under the directory of another user. Currently not having any success:
Jenkins output:
[minigame-chronos] $ /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/minigame-chronos/gradlew uploadArchives
:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes UP-TO-DATE
:jar UP-TO-DATE
:uploadArchives FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':uploadArchives'.
> Could not publish configuration 'archives'
> java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/minecraft/server/plugins/minigame-chronos-0.1.jar (Permission denied)
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
build.gradle:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
flatDir {
name "devServer"
dirs "/home/minecraft/server/plugins"
}
}
uploadArchives {
repositories {
add project.repositories.devServer
}
}
So far, I've tried experimenting with user groups and the directory permissions.
The directory /home/minecraft/server/plugins/ has been given the following file permissions
drw-rw-rw- 2 minecraft minecraft-dev 4096 Jan 4 13:14 plugins
Users jenkins and minecraft both exist in the minecraft-dev groups.
Thanks for the help

You are missing "execute" permission for directory - nobody can chdir to it.
try
chmod +x /home/minecraft/server/plugins
