You Asked: How Do I Create a Link to a Folder in Linux?
Contents

Ln Command to Create Symbolic Links

  1. By default, the ln command creates a hard link.
  2. Use the -s option to create a soft (symbolic) link.
  3. The -f option will force the command to overwrite a file that already exists.
  4. Source is the file or directory being linked to.

Browse until you find the specific file, folder, or library for which you want the direct 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.
