Finder ln (as in the Unix ln command) is comprised of two OSX workflow scripts that allow you to conveniently create Unix-based hard and symbolic links directly within the OSX Finder application.

OSX 10.6+

A zipped version of the two bundles (Hard Link.workflow and Symbolic Link.workflow) can be downloaded. Double click the downloaded zip file to unzip, and then double click each of the .workflow bundle files to install them on your Mac. Once installed, they are automatically added to the Services menu for Finder.

To create hard links to one or more files, select the files with Finder, click on the Finder menu and choose Services, then select Hard Link. A dialog will appear asking for a destination folder to hard link the file(s). Similarly, to create symbolic links or files and/or folders, select them with Finder, click on the Finder menu and choose Services, then select Symbolic Link.

Finder ln is licenced under the terms of the GPLv3.
