使用正确的路径将文件夹连接/同步到另一个文件夹

Question

I have 2 Frameworks on my Virtual Server, both have a plugins folder and Framework A has some plugins which also need to be used in Framework B .

I need a connection from Framework B plugin folder to Framework A plugin folder . But it has to still work correctly if for example a file in Framework B uses the path to it's own plugins folder it should not result in an error because it's actually empty.

Do I need symlink, rsync or something else?

/html/framework_a/plugins/...
/html/framework_b/plugins/

Answer 1

Ok based on your comment, Framework B must have all the files from Framedwork A, and nothing more. Then the solution is quite simple. You only have to link the entire directory.

Therefore:

$ cd /html/framework_b
$ mv plugins plugins-backup
$ ln -s /html/framework_a/plugins ./plugins

This will create a softlink, so if you do cd /html/framework_b/plugins you will see the same files as in /html/framework_a/plugins .
