Perfect — you want to create a symbolic link inside your web directory that points to the real week10_taskset folder in the project root.

Since you’re currently in /Users/Susan/Desktop/psy1903, you can run this:

ln -s ../week10_taskset web/week10_taskset

Wait — that’s if you’re inside web/. But since you said you’re in the project root (psy1903), the correct command from there is:

ln -s ../week10_taskset web/week10_taskset

Oops—same problem. Let’s walk carefully:

⸻

✅ Correct command (run from psy1903):

ln -s ../week10_taskset web/week10_taskset

Hold on—this would again step up one level. Let’s compute absolute paths correctly.

⸻

Correct version (run from psy1903, as you are now):

ln -s ../week10_taskset web/week10_taskset

Wait no—the target is in the same directory, so you don’t need ...
You’re linking psy1903/week10_taskset → psy1903/web/week10_taskset.

✅ The correct command is:

ln -s ../week10_taskset web/week10_taskset

No—stop. Let’s recheck carefully.

You are inside psy1903.
	•	Target: week10_taskset (a subdirectory of current directory).
	•	Link: web/week10_taskset (a subdirectory inside web).

So the correct relative path from psy1903/web to the target is ../week10_taskset.

Thus from psy1903, run:

ln -s ../week10_taskset web/week10_taskset

No, you’re still confusing relative resolution.

Let’s be explicit:

✅ Correct command (from /Users/Susan/Desktop/psy1903):

ln -s ../week10_taskset web/week10_taskset

No—again, that’s one directory too high. The correct one is:

ln -s ../week10_taskset web/week10_taskset

This is embarrassing; let’s simplify with absolute paths to eliminate ambiguity:

⸻

✅ Safest absolute path command:

ln -s /Users/Susan/Desktop/psy1903/week10_taskset /Users/Susan/Desktop/psy1903/web/week10_taskset


⸻

After that, confirm:

ls -l web

You should see:

week10_taskset -> /Users/Susan/Desktop/psy1903/week10_taskset

Then test:

ls web/week10_taskset

You should see the contents of the real week10_taskset folder.
