Hello!
A symbolic link is successfully created for the SMB address and the FTP address. BUT!
If you open the SMB link, everything is normal.
When trying to open FTP, the error is about the path being unavailable.

Is it possible to create symbolic links for FTP through MKLINK?

    Hi,

    After research, it seems there's no standard FTP command to create symlink.

    Please check the following link for detailed information:

    Install Filezilla and use that as your FTP client. Use it's Site Manager to bookmark your sites.
