linking directory (shortcut)

[joshua39]

Can someone show me how to create a shortcut/link folder

something like this

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep 6 16:52 stepheng -> /home2/stepheng/

in SSH (as by the printout you're using) the command is as follows:

ln /target linkname -s

eg:
root@ukshare002 [~]# ln /home/ifc ifc -s

produces an outcome of:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 7 18:58 ifc -> /home/ifc/
