Symbolic Link issues.

Expand Post »
Hi, I am trying to create a symbolic link from one dir to another.

However, from the command terminal, I type the entire dir path e.g.

ln -s full/dir/path 2/filename full/dir/path/linkName

I then get an error informing me that the destination does not exist.

I removed the linkName so I had

ln -s full/dir/path 2/filename full/dir/path/

this creates two link files one of which is the dir path 2 and the other the filename which when I try to open it does not recognise the path.

any help would be appreciated.
