Question

I'm looking how to affect the value 2 in directories column inside the ls command for a file.

Actually the value is 1.

I tried to creat a symbolic link but its still 1

Was it helpful?

You need a hardlink instead (i.e. ln without -s). That number is the count of references to the inode and a symbolic link doesn't increase it.
