Shard file directory

Ahoy-

I have a bit of a problem.  I have two applications located at the following directory paths:

• customer  = /var/www/vhosts/customer/customer/app/
• administrator = /var/www/vhosts/administrator/administrator/app/

These are completely different applications, BUT I need for the administrator application to write and read media files from the customer webroot directory.  I have spent two days on this...I'm starting to think it can't be done.  Here is the administrator controller code I am using for a download:

public function conceptdownload($id,$companyid) {

     

    ///I have tried several iterations of this path
               $dir = '/var/www/vhosts/customer/customer/app/webroot/proofs/'.$companyid.'/';

  

   $options = array('conditions'=>array('ConceptFile.id'=>$id));

   $getfile = $this->ConceptFile->find('first',$options);

$this->viewClass = 'Media';

$base = explode('.',$getfile['ConceptFile']['filename']);

$params = array(

   'id'        => $getfile['ConceptFile']['filename'],

   'name'      => $getfile['ConceptFile']['filename'],

   'download'  => true,

   'extension' => $base[1],

  'path'  => $dir

);

$this->set($params);

   }.

Any recommendations?
