I have created linux (Centos) on my virtual box. When I ssh to it and I try to create symbolic link (on my shared folder with full access):
ln -s path/folder/example myFolder
I get error:
ln: creating symbolic link `myFolder': Protocol error
Is there any reason or solution to this?
Creating symlinks in Windows is pretty easy with the mklink command. To start, press Win + X , then select the option “Command Prompt (Admin)” to open the Command Prompt with admin rights. Once the command prompt has been opened, use the below command format to create a symlink for a file.
Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, and Vista all support symbolic links — also known as symlinks — that point to a file or folder on your system. You can create them using the Command Prompt or a third-party tool called Link Shell Extension.
Ln Command to Create Symbolic LinksUse the -s option to create a soft (symbolic) link. The -f option will force the command to overwrite a file that already exists. Source is the file or directory being linked to.
Right click on your command prompt and "Run as Administrator" (or whatever program you're using to make those symlinks needs to be run as adminstrator).
