title: symlink from public_html_source to public_html
body: <p>i'm trying to create a symlink between 2 folders on a server that has limited access so I can "deploy" my site.</p>
  
  <p>This is the path to the git repo <code>/home2/username/public_html_source</code> and in there there is a folder named <code>backend_code</code> Instead of ftp uploading the files of <code>backend_code</code> into <code>/home2/username/public_html</code>, I would like to make a link to it.</p>
  
  <p>I tried using <code>ln</code> but I keep getting a symlink folder inside of <code>public_html</code>.</p>
  
  <p>So i'm trying to get
  <code>/home2/username/public_html</code></p>
  
  <p>to point to
  <code>/home2/username/public_html_source/backend_code</code></p>
