Hard and Symbolic Links in Linux

Use `ln -s <source-file> <link-name>` in the target directory to create a symbolic link. For example: `ln -s /var/www/vhosts/ecash_cfe /var/www ...

This will recursively traverse the /path/to/folder directory and list only the symbolic links: ls -lR /path/to/folder | grep '^l'

Use `cd -L` in bash to follow a link, or `cd $(readlink thelink)` or `cd `readlink thelink` to go to the target directory.
