I have a linux server which is being used for images and media file storage only.

In the root directory I have a symlink named public_html which links to /home/images/public_html which links to /var/www/html/ which is where the files are being stored.

I created a new user so he can access the files via scp but when I create a symlink to /var/www/html/ in the new users home directory /home/username the link of course is not accessible due to permissions since the original directory is accessible by root only.

My question is how do I create a symlink in the users folder that has access to /var/www/html/?
