Well lets see if you have shell access then it's simple
ln -s <source_dir> <link>
for instance if your creating a link called
006a/photos
But all your photos are in
006/photos
you'd make sure you where in the 006a/ dir
and type the following
ln -s ../006/photos photos
This would create a link in the directory 006a/ to the photos dir in 006/
Make sence?
if you don't have shell access there are a few ways to get it one of which is through a cgi script HOWEVER MAKE SURE YOU GET PERMISSION FROM YOUR HOST BEFORE YOU RUN ANY SUCH PROGRAMS, I'M NOT GONNA LIST ANY HERE BECAUSE NOT ALL HOSTS WANT PEOPLE RUNNING THESE, BUT IF YOU FIND ONE ASK YOUR ISP.
And finally through FTP:
SYMLINK
Used to create a symbolic link (a.k.a. a symlink) from the source path (src) to the destination path (dest).
Example:
SITE SYMLINK src dest
However not all ISPs support this..
Hope that helped.
