Linux: Creating a symbolic link
I am trying to create a link to my site directory instead of typing the whole path every time I transfer my files. This is what I've found. Symbolic link is indeed very useful!
the simple syntax is
ln -s [target directory or file] [symlink shortcut]
But in case you want to forcibly replace an existing symbolic link, you can use
ln -sfn /new/target /path/to/symlink
Explanations can be found here
