Linux Knowledge

• create symbolic link to a path

ln -s <destination> <symbolic link>

For example, typing the following command in your home directory (~):

ln -s /media/DATA2/guests/public/Lab05 fmric

Create a symbolic link "fmric" pointing to "/media/DATA2/guests/public/Lab05" (assuming it exists). Thus, under your home directory, type:

cd fmric

you will be in "~/fmric", where all the contents of /media/DATA2/guests/public/Lab05 can be accessed.

• • Deleting the symbolic link won't remove the contents of its destination.
