Dotan, just a quick workaround and others can help with the commands..
Understand you are using kubuntu, and I use the following easy way, not  
sure about nautilus if you're using that.

At Dolphin, drag the file, right mouse button and drop to the required  
directory, release the button and there will be a context with a choice of  
copy, move or syslink.
I use these all the time and I've forgotten about the ln commands.
