Can I create symbolic links in OS X which also work in Windows/Linux and vice versa? I'm synchronizing a folder structure between my MacBook (OS X 10.6) and a PC with Windows XP (soon Linux or Windows 7).

My problem is that Windows shortcuts or OS X aliases seem to be unusable on the other system, so those symbolic links can not be synchronized with the other machine.


Is there a common format for symbolic links which works on all 3 operating systems (Windows, OS X, Linux)?
Can I convert the existing aliases and Windows shortcuts to this format?
sync application may be the good choice sometime, I recommend you
BitTorrent Sync, is An Application to keep designated folder content same on  more devices. Changes should be propagated to all the device that keep the folder synchronized.
