Fedora :: Link To Another User Folder?
Aug 17, 2010
I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, here or in Google, but 5' of search didn't give me any satisfactory answer. I haver 2 users, usr1 and usr2. I have access for both users. I want to link a folder from usr1 into the home directory of usr2. That is, if usr1 has the following folder
/home/usr1/Music
I want usr2 to link to this folder in this manner
/home/usr2/Music/usr1
I want usr2 to have read and execute permissions over all files and folders under that link, but probably I don't want him to have write permissions.

I have a question about the ln command for link creation. I have both Windows and Linux partitions on my system. While I'm working on linux, sometimes I need to access the data stored on my windows partition. Yet, the access is provided through /media directory and I often, I have to click on several folders in order to access windows "My Documents" folder. So, in order to avoid this, I decided to create a link to "My Documents" folder directly from my $HOME directory.
Code:
$ mkdir /home/dariyoosh/MyDocuments
$ ln -fs /media/disk/Users/dariyoosh/Documents/MyDocuments/* ./MyDocuments
The link was created without any problem and now I have a direct access to that folder just by a click. Yet, there is a problem. If I update any file of the windows MyDocuments folder within this linking directory, the file is actually updated on the windows partition, which is of course what I want to do. But If I decide to create a new file on the windows "MyDocuments" folder by using this linking folder, that is, /home/dariyoosh/MyDocuments, the file is put actually on the linux partition instead of the windows MyDocuments folder. So, having created a directory linking to another directory, is there any way to proceed so that any file operation, in particular, creation, affects directly the linked directory?

Recently I setup a system for a non-technical user. He is only using Firefox, Pidgin and OpenOffice for about 2 hours a day. I have created a folder "/home/jim/myFiles" where he can save his document files. But Jim has accidentally deleted his myFiles folder on 2 occasions. He had intended to delete a file in that folder. Is there a way to lock the folder so that the user and create/read/write documents in that folder but not delete the folder itself?

We are using Red Hat Enterprise AS 3.0. There are 100+ users connected to a single server. As the Inbox size of Mail Client (Thunderbird) for each user grows there are space constraint on the server. So I want to define a quota on mail folder for each user (say around 500 MB to 1 GB). How can I do this.

I use ln -s to create a symbolic folder in /home/ to direct a folder in the media.
But it appeared the link is broken. It also said "This link cannot be used, because its target "./media/StudyResearch/" doesn't exist."

I have done something very studpid I think and was wondering if there's any chance to recovery a folder. I, for some stupid reason, merged a symbolic link with the actual folder, Thought I was doing something else.Now the directory does not seem to exist and when I click on it there is an error saying 'The link '/directory/' is broken'

I have to access to a remote hard drive on a windows machine with admin privileges (something like \ipaddressc$). I was able to bookmark that and put the link on "Places" using "Connect to Server..." using the following parameters: windows share, ip address, d$, username & pass. Now to make it easier to access, i want to put the same thing on the panel, and there comes the problem. I think that i can make a link that executes by command line the previous settings and opens-mount all the times my remote path.

I wanted to create an user but don't allow it to see the other user's home folder so I made chmod 0750 /home/folder and it worked fine so I went ahead and decided to completely forbid access to the root folder and I had the "great" idea to make chmod 0750 /, and now I'm having problems with wine and other applications, in example I used to have a folder in this address 209.239.114.51/mmgr but now it's giving me errors and if I try to run some applications I got error "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal"

I'm trying to get vsftpd running with both anonymous and local user access to the same folder. The directory I'm using is /tftp with the following permissions:
dr-srwxrwx 7 root root 12288 2009-08-14 15:54 tftp
My vsftpd.conf is this:
anonymous_enable=YES
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
[code]....
I set the default "ftp" user's home directory to /tftp (was /var/ftp).

I have two folders such as
nonserved/
folder1/
folder2/
And a served folder via Apache
media/
js/
css/
img/
In the end, I want to include/append contents of /nonserved to /media so that [URL] will be as such:
/media
/js
/css
/img
/folder1
/folder2
I am running Ubuntu Server, I am up for either apache config or symbolic link based answer :) Plus nonserved folder is rather dynamic thus manual symbolic linking to each folder is impossible.

I can't seem to access my ROOT folder when I link to a file in it from one in var/ w ww.if (my ip):80 links to va r / w ww, and jsp only works in tomcat / webapps /ROOT, and I have tomcat / webapps / ROOT installed in var / w ww, then I thought I would try to do something like this, to make jsp work.Is there a way to simply redirect webapps / ROOT to var / www and put all of the files there?

I seem to be seeing some weird behavior in kubuntu with KDE 4.3.2 and KDE 4.3.5 for Kubuntu 9.10 32-bit.I have a few programs in my home folder. For instance Eclipse and Mendeley. it seems that when i create a Link to Application does not launch them. Here is how I create the links.
-> I right click and create a new "Link to Application"
-> I click on the Application tab and browse to where the shell script, or executable is.
and when I try to launch them it does not work. The link is using the absolute path. I tried setting the working directory and using a relative path but nothing. If I run the link in a terminal it says "Warning: Could not find" and the application I set. Now this seems to not be a problem for system applications like Kate. If i change the link to launch Kate it works perfectly.

I have an external hard drive mounted at /media/exthdd/ On that hard drive I have folders: Music, Pictures, Videos, etc. Can I make symbolic links to /media/exthdd/Music/ to say the root directory /_ ? the directory /_ is empty I just want a quick method of typing to get me there much like [cd ~] gets me to my home/username folder. I have my music organized by Artist/Year-Album/Track.Title.mp3 I want to be able to "cd /_" then "ls" and see all Artist folders.

I was doing some rather lengthy procedures using a terminal. Then I wrote script using Kate, and input it into that terminal, and then realized that I was logged in as a normal user in that terminal as opposed to a superuser, which is how I was logged in at the other terminal. I've never noticed this before because I've never done anything that takes this long.
Is there any way to link all terminal sessions in such a way that they all show me logged in as the same user? I don't even know if this is even important, but I don't want to risk losing any things that I had done.

I just realized that the "Documents" folder in my home directory has changed to a file which is a link to the /home/user/Documents and it is unaccessible. It does not (no longer) show in the "file browser" when I try to click it from "places" it says:
Error: Could not open location 'file:///home/user/Documents' No application is registered as handling this file When I list from the terminal (i.e. %ls -ltr ) it list the file (which was suppose to be the directory) as
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 24 2010-11-01 18:20 Documents -> /home/user/Documents
NB. user in this case is my user name on the system, I am just using user for this forum. how to retrieve the information from the folder and remove the linked file to remain with the original folder

I've recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic as a dual boot with WinXP and love it. I've been able to mount my WinXP partition and can access files read/write successfully.
I'd like my WinXP "My Documents" folder to appear as a linked folder in my Linux Home directory.
I think I should be able to use the ln command, but I can't figure it out.
I've tried to create a link that will appear like a "folder" called WinDocs in my Home directory with this command, run from my Home folder:
ln -t /dev/sda1/Documents and Settings/richard/My Documents/ /WinDocs/
but it reports
ln: accessing `/dev/sda1/Documents and Settings/richard/My Documents/': Not a directory
I get the same results if I try /dev/hda1 etc.
I can see the contents of the folder currently in my Places listing. Its shortcut is active on my desktop.

Wondering if its possible to have a User's home folder that resides in a different partition (could be ntfs or ext). I don't mean mounting /home on a different partition. The home directory will still be available for adding more users but I'd like to have a specific User's folder away from /home
How can one achieve this?

I am an old Ubuntu user and have just strted running F11 on my iBook. I always run system-config-samba on all my machines including my server and even on my work server which shares with windows, Linux and OSX and have found it to be perfect. I installed it straight away on the new Fedora system but It doesn't seem to be functioning the way i expected it to.
I installed system-config-samba and then set up one share folder "Public" with open read write privileges and then turned off the Fedora Firewall all together. But "public" did not become open until I entered the user password for the fedora machine. But, then I could see all folders on the Fedora machine. Even root on the fedora machine became write-able on the network. This was not the desired effect at all. I am assuming fedora is using a non system-config-samba file share system that I am unfamiliar with. what is it? and how does it work?
