Warning: unprotected private key file!

Hello,

I am trying to copy my umui job to the BAS hpc. When typing the following command: /home/n02/n02/irealm37/bassubmit -r bas -u irealm37 -q short xpteb

I am getting the following error message " WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!"

puma2.archer2.ac.uk$ /home/n02/n02/irealm37/bassubmit -r bas -u irealm37 -q short xpteb

You can change permissions on files. This is shown for your key here: heroku - Getting "Warning: unprotected private key file!" error message while attempting to import SSH key - Stack Overflow
