Frequent Question: How Do I Create a Symbolic Link to a Folder in Linux?
Contents

Drag and drop a file or folder to another location. Nautilus will create a symbolic link to the original file or folder at the location you drop the file or folder rather than moving the original file or folder.

Include a single “ <TARGET> ” variable, defining it as the complete path to a desired directory. The system will create a symbolic link using the value defined as the ” <LINKNAME> ” variable. Note: NetStorage doesn’t support the creation of hard links.
