Link from X to Y.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ln -s X ../otherdir/Y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want a hard link, this will make a single file exist in two locations.
|
|
If it is deleted in one location, it continues to exist in the other.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ln *X* *Y*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both files must be on the same hard drive, as they have the same inode (check this with `ls -i file`).
