ln symbolic link command error - iphone bu symbolic link troubleshoot
Having problem changing iphone backup location (following this tutorial https://www.iclarified.com/72786/how-to-change-your-iphone-backup-location-mac)
cannot interpret the error - any help appreciated !
sudo ln -s/Volumes/bbyfrn/Backup ~/Library/Application\
Support/MobileSync/Backup
ln: illegal option -- /
usage: ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file [link_name]
ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file ... linkname_dir
link source_file link_name
Solution 1:
You’re missing a space after -s
before the path beginning with /
.
You can tell this from the error message ‘invalid option’ of /
as it’s read the punctuation character as another short option next to s rather than as part of the next argument.
How can I create a symbolic link in Terminal?
Also don’t use sudo — you own the folder in your home directory.
