can I get some help with symlinks?

I have a bunch of new websites being built and alot of them use the same images

So instead of uploading these same images to every website, I want to like make a main/central image directory and then make an image directory in the website folder and have it linked to the main/central image directory

I know this can be done but cant remember how.. someone help me out?

ln -s /path/to/original/file.jpg /path/to/symbolic-link.jpg

example could be like:

ln -s /home/mysite/public_html/nekkid_boobies.gif /home/my-other-site/public_html/nekkid_boobies.gif

symlinks are also case sensitive just if you wanna check

been caught out by that on .JPG tons of times, wastes a lot of effort
