    Hi Everyone,

    I have a questions which i hope someone will be able to assist with.

    I am trying to find a way to allow one user to access another's filesystem.

    I have a CMS that i have developed that uses an absolute file path for image uploading etc., and it runs from a single fileset.

    So what i am trying to do...

    have the user where my CMS resides - say "/home/user1/public_html/cms/

    be able to upload a file to

    /home/user2/public_html/images/ or something like that.

    Does that make sense?
    It worked on a server not running cPanel, but i can't seem to get it to work on the cPanel server.
    Is there something built into cPanel stopping me from doing this, or have i just managed to mess up the configuration?

    Any advice is most appreciated.
    Rob

    You can setup a symlink to link from one directory to another and then disable the open_basedir tweak for your particular users in your Security area in cPanel WHM.

    That should let you go from user folder to user folder.
