I have some folders on my web server that link to other folders.

I am wondering how this is done?

Example: I want http://www.example.com/public_html/css/ to point to http://www.example.com/public_html/wp-content/themes/theme-name/css/

your public_html is in a public_html? – Yearlong 14/12, 2011 at 0:36

easiest way is to create a symblink like this:

cd /path/to/public_html/
ln -s /path/to/public_html/wp-content/themes/theme-name/css/ css

example:

cd ~
ln -s wp-content/themes/theme-name/css/ css

+1 nice answer, no need to create logic to do this in a .htaccess or config file - which also is faster to execute – Aggrieve 14/12, 2011 at 0:55

With all the .htaccess and mod_rewrite, we stop thinking about the simplest solution, and in this case, the best! nicely done! you got my +1 – Waterless 14/12, 2011 at 3:29

What you're looking for is the Alias directive
