Hi there,

My quest seems to be getting clearer:

- Symbolic Links (Soft Links) do not seem to work well under Dreamweaver MX. A symbolic link can be made as follows:

ln -s [original file name and path] [linked file name and path]

Symbolic links can be used to directories.

- Hard links to "files" seems to work fine with Dreamweaver MX on the MAC OS X (10.3.9). A hardlink can be performed in the terminal as follows:

ln [original file name and path] [linked file name and path]

This works well with Dreamweaver but Hard Links are not allowed for directories. this is becuase there are system critical issues which are far too complex for me to go on about (as I don't have a clue).

There is infomration stating that hard linking directories can be possible if in a super user and using the following command:

ln -d -F [original directory name and path] [linked directory name and path]

However this does not seem to be the case in reality. Therefore I am back to square one really. From doing this research I believe it must be a Macromedia compatibility issue.

On my travels I have found another guy in the same boat: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/we...word1=symbolic

So at this moment I'm gettign I'm stuck.

As per usual I will let you know how I get along

If you have the answer........please do contact me

Kind regards,

Addam
