but mklink before display error message, first convert it to win32 error code, and it converted to. ( The file that was specified as a target is a directory and the caller specified that it could be anything but a directory.). if directory already exist and in call NtCreateFile we not use option FILE_DIRECTORY_FILE (mklink use this option when we use /D switch) - we got STATUS_FILE_IS_A_DIRECTORY error. as result we got error, if file already exist. internally it use NtCreateFile with FILE_CREATE disposition. because this exist sense use only file -> file or directory -> directory symbolic links (the src and target have the same FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY attribute - both have or not have)Īlso the mklink assume that symbolic link to be created file - yet not exist. but any file browser will be incorrect work with such symlink, because it will be use source file attribute FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY - as result try work with file like with directory or visa versa. say in case target is file - we can open and read it as file. and we can work with target file (or directory) through this symlink.
You can use normal file management commands (for example, cp, rm) on the symbolic link.First of all we can create symbolic link from empty directory to file or visa versa - from empty file to directory via FSCTL_SET_REPARSE_POINT - this is legal and will be work. After you've made the symbolic link, you can perform an operation on or execute myfile, just as you could with the source_file. The ln command then creates the symbolic link. Replace myfile with the name of the symbolic link.
Replace source_file with the name of the existing file for which you want to create the symbolic link (this file can be any existing file or directory across the file systems). To create a symbolic link in Unix, at the Unix prompt, enter: ln -s source_file myfile Also, when you delete a target file, symbolic links to that file become unusable, whereas hard links preserve the contents of the file. This difference gives symbolic links certain qualities that hard links do not have, such as the ability to link to directories, or to files on remote computers networked through NFS. It simply points to another entry somewhere in the file system. Unlike a hard link, a symbolic link does not contain the data in the target file. move C:\Path\To\ExternalFolder C:\Users\NAME\OneDrive. This command will move the entire folder to your cloud storage folder.
A symbolic link, also termed a soft link, is a special kind of file that points to another file, much like a shortcut in Windows or a Macintosh alias. In the first command, replace C:\Path\To\ExternalFolder with the path to the folder you want to sync and C:\Users\NAME\Dropbox with the path to your cloud storage folder.
