Question Reading files from a different site inside /vhosts folder

[Lee990]

Server operating system version

Centos 7

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.43 Obsidian

Hi. I have two applications (app A and B) that are running on the same server (Plesk Obsidian - Linux), but they are in separate folders inside /vhosts. That's because they're accessible via a different domain.

Application A needs to read attachment files that are owned by application B. I have tried to create a symlink inside app A folder that refers to /attachment folder on app B, however when app A tries to read the file I encountered an error 'EACCES: permission denied' (NodeJS).

Is it possible to do this? unfortunately copying the files isn't possible due to their size. How do achieve this without having to copy all the files? thank you.

It cannot be done on the file level, but maybe you can just use PHP's file_get_contents() with a URL instead of a path.
