symbolic links

How do I create one

I want this link called 123 to point to directory abc so when I put anything in 123 it will actually be put in directory abc


so I guess 123 would be a symbolic directory link that points to actual directory abc???


Is this right and if so how do I set it up???


Jeff

In KDE (and probably GNOME) you can simply drag the directory to the location in which you want the link, then choose to "link this ..."

Or you can do it through the shell like so:

ln -s /path/to/target-directory /path/to/new/link

Make sure you put the full path into the target (don't use ./path/from/current-location....)
