Hi:

I noticed in Linux: when my program needs to access a file, that file
must be in the current directory. Even the file is in the parent
directory, Linux will not find it.

My question: I have a file which basically needs to be accessed from
different directories. How can I make that file be accessable from
different directories?

I know I can make links in every directory to do that. But I am curious
if there is some better ways.

Thank you very much.
