In my Linux server, there are some symbolic links look like: 

quick_job -> /home/thejobco/public_html/JCCore/quick_job/

Now if I want to find out all the symbolic links to /home/thejobco/public_html/JCCore/quick_job/, according to this "symbolic link: find all files that link to this file", I tried this command:

find -L / -samefile /home/thejobco/public_html/JCCore/quick_job/

but in ssh it shows:

find: /: Permission denied

So, what is going wrong here? And, what is the right command to run to find all symbolic links pointing to folder /home/thejobco/public_html/JCCore/quick_job/?

find tells you that you have no access to / directory.

To search in a directory you have access to: 

find -L /home/thejobco -samefile /home/thejobco/public_html/JCCore/quick_job/
