Thread: creating symbolic links to files on usb drives

-

hey
got ubuntu server set up, automounts couple of external usb harddrives.

wanna make folder links every file folders on usb drives special folder, possible?

tryed doing "sudo ln -s /media/usb0/photos/*" , typed when in folder wanted links, told not create symbolic link, file exists? (translated error msg danish english)

the correct syntax 'ln' ln -s target link_name target location want link point to, , link_name name of link want. don't believe can glob (i.e. use *). but, if want create symbolic link photos directory (let's say) home directory:

code:
ln -s /media/usb0/photos/ /home/<username>/photosonusb0
that create link in home folder (substitute <username> actual username!) that's called "photosonusb0" points photos folder on usb0.

hope helps!
