A SoftLink is is a special type of directory entry that allows almost transparent references to another directory entry, typically a file or a directory. <?plugin OldStyleTable | __Feature__ | __SoftLink__s | __HardLink__s | Can cross filesystems? | Yes | No | Can refer to directories? | Yes | No | Breaks when the file is moved? | No | Yes ?> On [Linux], soft links are called [symbolic links|SymLink]. Softlinks are created with the following command line pattern. <pre> ln -s ''/path/from/origfile'' ''/path/to/newlink'' </pre> You must have appropriate permissions in the directory where you're creating the link for this to work.
