[SOLVED] Mapping folders

[Maq]

I want to map one folder with a bunch of sub-dirs/files to another folder that is a couple directories deeper.  What's the command/syntax for this?

[Maq]

I used this code:

 

ln -s /usr/local/awstats-6.8 /usr/local/websites/www.xxxxxxx.com/xxxxxxx/awstats-6.8

 

And it produced this output:

 

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

 

Is this correct?

[trq]

ln wont produce any output on success, the actual message you are recieving means you have mail.

The correct code is:

 

ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/destination

Then I have the correct syntax for this, thanks!

Sorry to resurrect this topic, but shouldn't the data in the destination folder be viewable and the same as the source?

[steviewdr]

ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/destination

 

ls /path/to/source

ls /path/to/destination

 

Both of the above lines should show the same output.

Could you do the following to test things?

 

mkdir /var/tmp/test1

touch /var/tmp/test1/file1

ls /var/tmp/test1

ln -s /var/tmp/test1 /var/tmp/test2

ls /var/tmp/test2
