Hi,

I moved the thread to a more appropriate forum.

In answer to your question, if you have ssh/telnet access you can type:

ln --help

or

man symlink

Paul is correct. You can view the symlink manual via SSH or telnet, however, I found the documentation to not be very helpful in terms of configuring symlinks.

The following web page may help you:

* http://www.skarnet.org/...update-symlinks.html

* http://www.zeal.com/...ted_categories.jhtml

* http://www.mit.edu:8001/...ne/etc/symlinks.html

* http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/...chroot-symlinks.html

Found these web pages via Google, great place to start when you are researching problems/issues. Wink

Also, depending on what server software you are using, symlink syntaxs may vary. So, it would be good to start with whatever OS and web server you are using (of course, symlinks only apply to *nix systems).

With NT you can do something like:

Code:
perl -e "`shortcut -f -t C:\MyApp.exe -n %userprofile%\"\start menu\programs\MY APP\MY APP\"`"

Similar, but it really isn't "symlinks" in the context of Unix based systems, Paul.

I never said it was, I was showing the most similar alternative for NT.
