    it seems tmp_file.txt does not exist, or you don't have permission to read it.

    Yes definitely add the full path.

    Make sure the files are actually inside the same directory your script is running. You'll also need to put a/ infront of home

    /home/

    Or else itll look for a sub directory in your current directory called home
