title: Soft symbolic link mac permission denied
body: <p>i've been banging my head for an hour now. 
  Context : I decided to put my dotfiles in the repo and symlink them. 
  I tried to symlink and got permission denied so I decided to try a simple symlink and it just won't work.</p>
  
  <p>I created a testFolder( /Users/myUserName/testFolder ) :</p>
  
  <pre><code>drwxr-xr-x   3 myUserName  staff   102 24 Nov 16:47 testFolder
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Inside there is a test file : </p>
  
  <pre><code>-rw-r--r--  1 myUserName  staff  53 24 Nov 16:47 test.sh
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I created a symlink to test symlinks in the parent folder with this command : </p>
  
  <pre><code>myUserName testFolder $ ln -s test.sh ../test.sh
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I go to the parent folder and get this symlink : </p>
  
  <pre><code>lrwxr-xr-x   1 myUserName  staff     7 24 Nov 16:52 test.sh -&gt; test.sh
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For some reasons, when I try to edit it, I get <strong>Permission denied</strong>.
  If I symlink it in the same folder, I can edit it and no permission denied!
  Has any body encountered this? I must be doing something wrong.</p>
  
  <p>Thanx!</p>
