Create Symlink DirectAdmin | How To?

by | Jul 6, 2023

The article provides a simple method to create a symlink using DirectAdmin File Manager. At Bobcares, with our DirectAdmin Support Services, we can handle your DirectAdmin-Symlink issues.

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.

  • 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.
