Why does "ln" not  work with ssh ?
ln -s works across mounted file systems.

If an ln -s worked with ssh then I could just do

ln -s ssl://source_host@host_dir my_mount_point
or ln -ssh source_host@host_dir my_mount_point


and then any other command, i.e.,
cd would be able to go ahead and interpret this as a request for ssh session
. The reponsibility of further commands lies with the new session. Being
able to scp from that directory is equivalent to having read permissions to
it .
....
sure many people would have thougth about this.. just wondering why its not
there yet?
