Folder access PHP on dedicated server

Can I access a folder on a different account on the sa开发者_运维问答me dedicated server via PHP?

Probably all the folders in the server are in */home/_folder_you_want_* (if the host uses linux), and so you can define a constant define('HOME', '/home/'), and include (like: include( HOME . 'folder');) the files you want.

There's a lot of factors to consider but the answer would be yes if you have permissions.
