Symbolic Links - Do they do what I think they do, and if they do, how?

["Angel Gabriel" <angel daddyt co uk>]

Okay, so I have some sort of idea as to what they are, but, how can I create
them? What I want to do, is to create my main website and then be able to
FTP it to some user space, but I can't FTP into the default directory of
/var/www/html  I was wondering if it would be possible for me to create a
link from the directory /var/www/html to /home/website so that I can FTP my
site from a remote location?
