A softlink is a file pointing to a file or directory, and is
created with ln -s.

A "hard link" is created with ln (no -s), and can only be
done on files.  For example on my web site I have
.tgz files hard linked to .tar.gz files, so that whichever
extension the downloader prefers to use will get the
same file.
