Hello,<br />
<br />
Is it possible to use ln -s to not just create a symbolic link between two files or folders, but also create an alias?<br />
<br />
The goal:<br />
The source folder is called client-upload, but I want the symbolic link to be called &quot;Received Files&quot;. How can I achieve that? I'm on Ubuntu server 8.04-2<br />
<br />
I know I can achieve this using the alias directive in Apache2, but I don't want to do that. And yes, it is related to an Apache2 installation.<br />
<br />
Please advice,<br />
<br />
