So I was asked to create a link ... like ../  but two go an extra level up in Linux. I understand that I must use ln -s to create a symbolic link, but I'm unsure where to go next.I am new to Linux and trying to understand how to create such link
Symbolic link ./././
linux;directory
Basically you have to do the following (if I understood your question correctly):ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/symlink
