linking folders across accounts

[falcon240sx]

is there a way to link a folder in one account to another account? i want to link a folder in my account to another account while all files in it (even if entered using the other account) retain my permissions. Is this possible or am I asking too much?

Re: linking folders across accounts

Have you tried symlink ?

In the konsole:

Syntax:

ln -s /path/to/real/folder/ /path/to/virtual/folder

In this case:

sudo ln -s /home/falcon240sx/my_folder/ /home/other_user/your_virtual_folder

Links:
Symbolic link
