Trying to create a symlink in my hostgator shared hosting account via Jailshell 4.1 and my Mac's Terminal as a test before applying the symlinks to a larger project.
When I try the following it doesn't seem to work:
ln -s public_html/y public_html/x
As I get the following response:
ln: creating symbolic link `public_html/x/y': Permission denied
I am simply trying to set it up so that going to public_html/x will instead take me to public_html/y. My ultimate goal is to later configure many wordpress sites to share a single set of core files without sharing databases, as described here:

Edit: Both folders /x and /y already exist, containing a simple index file in each.
