Re: [cobalt-users] Site Folders -Linux Newbie

Alanso,

do a "ls -al"  which means list (a)ll files in the directory in (l)ong
format..... you'll see an "-->" pointing to the actual directry, and an "l" at
the very begining of the file (for linkfile)...  these are link files.. sort
of like a pointer to the actuall directory.  Cobalt creates and uses these
under "/home/sites/".. understand?
