How to access a symlink pointing at a folder in another user's account?

[DReade83]

From what I can tell this is a permissions problem, but don't want to be using root to FTP in as the answer.

I have two accounts on my CentOS 5.3 server:

user1
user2

Logged in as root I have done the following:

cd /home/user1/www/
ln -s /home/user2/www/images images
chown -hR user1.user1 /home/user2/www/images

** SymLink created **

sudo -u user1 ls images/

Response: "ls: images/: Permission denied"

I have ensured both ends are set to 777 mode.

I have created a script using PHP, which is able to run from a domain hosted under the user1 account, upload a file and move the file into the symlink without an issue.

Any help on this issue highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Once you do ls -l in /home/user2/www/images are you able to see if symlink was created properly?

Also, verify the ownership of images folder on user2 and check if its ownership was assigned to user1 or not?

It's OK, all sorted, turns out I didn't do CHMOD 755 on the user's home folder too. Thanks anyway.
