How do I create a shortcut folder on a linux web server?

Question

I have some folders on my web server that link to other folders.

I am wondering how this is done?

Example: I want http://www.example.com/public_html/css/ to point to http://www.example.com/public_html/wp-content/themes/theme-name/css/

your public_html is in a public_html? – Book Of Zeus Dec 14 '11 at 00:36 — Book Of Zeus, Dec 14 '11 at 00:36

easiest way is to create a symblink like this:

cd /path/to/public_html/
ln -s /path/to/public_html/wp-content/themes/theme-name/css/ css

example:

cd ~
ln -s wp-content/themes/theme-name/css/ css

+1 nice answer, no need to create logic to do this in a .htaccess or config file - which also is faster to execute – Gabriel Dec 14 '11 at 00:55
