The question is not meaningful. You can have the same file data accessible by two file names; that would be a "hard link" set up by

Code:

ln existing_file new_file_name

and you can have what Windows calls a shortcut to a file; that would be a "symbolic link" set up by

Code:

ln -s existing_file symlink_name

It might help if you told us what you want to achieve.

This is not related to your original question. Maybe are you doing homework?
