Hi @wyatt-wong this should work, but you may have to escape the space with a \ As in the example below:

ln -s <some folder> ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup

( you may also have to run the command as sudo)

sudo ln -s <some folder> ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup

Please let me know if this helped be closing the request, or if not please provide screenshots or screen capture of the issue.

I can't even execute ls -l even using sudo and simply got "operation not permitted". I ended up using the macOS Terminal to create the symbolic link.

I am already using the latest version of Warp.

I think you need to provide the paths along with the ls -l command which may be the reason for the command not being allowed.

I already provided the path. The same command works in macOS TerminalSent from my iPhone 12 Pro MaxOn 14 Mar 2024, at 12:45 AM, Danny Neira ***@***.***> wrote: I think you need to provide the paths along with the ls -l command which may be the reason for the command not being allowed. —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you were mentioned.Message ID: ***@***.***>

Hi @dannyneira I saw the same error in some system dir, such as '/Desktop', '/Download' when I executed any command on my Mac.
