[PLUG] Linking Directories Question


I stumbled on the answer to this ages ago, but can't remember where I
found the answer.  Can somebody help?


My documents are stored under "/files/document"

I want to reference them by "/docs"

I execute "ln -s /files/document /docs"" to create a symbolic link.

But, when I type "ls  -lap /docs", I get "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Aug
17 09:58 /docs -> /files/document/", but I wanted to simply see the file
list of the /files/document folder.


I've done it before, but can't remember how I did it.  Does anybody
remember the trick?


TIA!
