How to create Symlink using DirectAdmin?

A symbolic link is a unique kind of file that points to another file or folder. It points to a file or folder, and when we act on a symbolic link, we also act on that file or folder. However, deleting a symbolic link just removes the link file itself, not the file it points to.

Different ways to create Symlink

Method 1

Choose the file or folder to which we want to link in order to create a symbolic link. Select Make Link under Edit. The current folder gains a link to the file or folder.

Method 2

As an alternative, hold down Ctrl and Shift while grabbing the object to which we want to link. Drag the object to the spot where we want the link to appear.

Creating Symlink Using DirectAdmin

Depending on the particular file manager, we can create symbolic links in the FileManager. Follow the below steps to create symlinks in DirectAdmin:

• Firstly, access the DirectAdmin control panel by logging in.
• Then go to “File Manager”.
• Now go to the directory where the symlink is to be created.
• Select “Symlink” from the menu when we right-click on the file or folder.
• Now enter the symlink’s name and target path here.
• Finally, in order to create the symlink, click the “Create” button.
