[QUOTE="Philipina, post: 224644"] Hello, I have a problem because I'm using a usb/serial converter under Mac OS x and the name given by the driver is too long "/dev/tty.ASZU2D9876F.R". I would like to create a link (with a shorter name) to this device but I' can't. Here is the command I used : ln -s /dev/tty.ASZU2D9876F.R /dev/ttyS99 but in this case I get the result "ln: /dev/ttyS99: Permission denied" I'm logged as Administrator! Can anyone of you explain me how can I create a link to be able to use a shorter name than tty.ASZU2D9876F.R ? Thanks in advance for your answers. Remi. [/QUOTE]
