PERMISSION DENIED - directory
Hello, we have a directory pretty well nested in a user's accounts' home. I've added myself to that user's group, made the directory world readable but still can't view the file that's in there. Any suggestions?
I believe it's nested under a directory that's symlink'd to another directory under the same user's home. Thanks in advance. |

Basically to traverse inside any directory you need read(r) and execute(x) bits on the directory.
If the directory is /home/user/dir, can you paste the output of the command, Quote:

You need execute permission on every directory in the path leading to the destination directory. While I think the read bit is not necessary on these intermediate directories, I suggest having that permission also, unless you have a specific reason not to.
Also, be aware than when a user is added to a group, that doesn't take effect for the current logins. I.e. if you add yourself to a group, you have to log out and log back in before that takes effect. If you want to see what groups your current login can access, type the groups command. |
