Link to a folder 1

[newbiepg]

How does one create a link to a folder from the command line?

Also what does . (space dot mean)

I read a command that was something like chmod g+w .

You link to directories, you need to create a symbolic link:

ln --symbolic /target/for/link /place/to/put/the/link

The

.

directory refers to the current directory, whilst

..

refers to the parent directory.

There are two type of linux

these two works same but having different background.
See the linux complete reference or shell programming by yeshwant kanitkar book.
