How Do I Link a Folder in Ubuntu?
Contents

The ln command in Linux creates links between source files and directories.

  1. -s – the command for Symbolic Links.
  2. [target file] – name of the existing file for which you are creating the link.
  3. [Symbolic filename] – name of the symbolic link.

Hold down Shift on your keyboard and right-click on the file, folder, or library for which you want a link. Then, select “Copy as path” in the contextual menu. If you’re using Windows 10, you can also select the item (file, folder, library) and click or tap on the “Copy as path” button from File Explorer’s Home tab.
