  • This question as asked is a bit too broad. The first thing you need to understand is that links are a Filesystem concept, and whilie Samba does present a set of virtualized filesystem semantics to clients, it sits atop the real filesystem implementation on the server. Ultimately, that means that the difference between creating links on the native filesystem, vs simply dereferencing links them for browsing and access are somewhat differant problems. I've never seen a mechanism for making symlinks over shares, but I've commony set up symlinks within shared directories for clients to access. Commented May 13, 2017 at 21:25
