How to Set Up a Folder Redirect on a Mac
- 1). Click the "Finder" icon in the Dock. Open the "Go" menu and click "Utilities."
- 2). Double-click the "Terminal" application. Type "CD /redirect" and press "Enter." Replace "/redirect" with the location of the folder where you want to create the link.
- 3). Type "ln -s linkname /folderlocation" and press "Enter." Replace "linkname" with the name you want to give the symbolic link or folder redirect. Replace "/folderlocation" with the location of the folder you are linking to.
- 4). Click "Quit" from the "Terminal" menu. The symbolic link is visible in Finder; clicking on it takes you directly to the target folder.
