I’m always confuse when it’s come to changing file types. Thanks for the info. It helps me understanding Linux a lil’ bit.

A soft link is like a redirect on the Internet. A hard link is a a duplicate entry in the directory for the same file. Soft links can break – the original file can disappear. Hard links can’t break.

I usually use soft link only? Any occasion we want to use hard link?

I always confuse with soft link and hard link. What I know is that soft link can link to files and directories. But hard links only for files.

Other than this, am not sure how will it behave if the source files are move, delete or rename…
